He says he steals as he struggles for money, so they once again fine him around £400, um how is he going to pay that 🤔

And it costs society far too much to put him in prison, so what's the answer?

Are there no depths to which fraudsters and freeloaders will not stoop?

I read that report too and it's sick, but I bet they are not the only ones who have done such a despicable thing.

These illegal immigrants should be made to serve their time in prison here, then immediately deported on their release from prison.
If any do gooders object to this then tough,  we have enough home grown scum without importing others

Very Expensive Mistake
« Reply #923 on: July 18, 2018, 03:40:31 pm »
At Llandudno Magistrates Court yesterday a man from Pensarn Abergele was fined in his absence £220 plus £150 legal costs, £114.14 investigative costs and £30 victim surcharge. The offence took place on Pensarn Beach where the man allowed his dog off the lead and it did the business. On seeing this a Conwy enforcement officer approached the offender to offer a dog poo bag and hoped to give educational advice, but the man ran away to his car and drove off. One very expensive mistake of £514.14, I hope this irresponsible anti-social individual won't make again  >:(

Don’t you just LOVE the British justice system?
Ben Stokes not guilty of affray, or any other charge.
He didn’t do it!
But we all saw him do it!!

I think Judge Huw Rees deserves three cheers for his judgement in this case, pity it stands out against the norm.

A teenager who was part of a gang which "trashed" a beauty salon has been spared jail.
But Reece Owen was ordered to pay £3,000 in compensation to the proprietor of La Belle Femme Beauty Salon in Prestatyn.

He was also warned that, if he committed another offence or breached the court order, he would go to prison.
The 18-year-old, of Cawthorne Avenue, Kirkby, Merseyside, admitted the burglary in August last year.

He also admitted burglary at McColls convenience store in Prestatyn on the same evening.
Sentencing the teenager, Judge Huw Rees said he needed to appreciate the effect burglaries have on individuals.

The judge told him: "You need to tread very carefully in future. The mitigation you have put forward this time will wear very thin."
Owen was handed a 33-week term in a young offenders institution, which was suspended for 18 months. He must carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and attend two courses organised by the probation service.

The judge ordered Owen, a labourer, to pay the compensation at the rate of £150 a month.

"In total, the loss to the business was £3,000. The salon was unable to open the following day and clients were turned away, but staff were paid in any event."

Simon Killeen, defending, urged the court to take the delay in charging Owen into account and to bear in mind his age.

The Police have an extremely difficult job to do and I just wish that the Courts would be more consistent in passing sentences on the culprits.
Take Dean Saunders for instance, he was given 10 weeks in jail for refusing to take a breath test but only served one day in jail pending his appeal.   I've no sympathy with him whatsoever and hope that the camera footage will prevent any loophole being exploited.
The other example is of a woman who was over three times the limit for drink driving and managed to clip a road worker twice  before driving off.    It was all filmed and she was stopped by the Police further up the road.   She got off with a suspended jail sentence and showed a total contempt for the law when she dropped litter in the form of a cigarette end on the floor outside of Court

This is one of the most frightening stories I have ever read,  I hope they make the right decisions, and get this right.

"A teenager accused of the attempted murder of a fellow pupil during school time said he wanted to "experience the feeling of killing someone", a jury was told."
