24 Hours In Police Custody

[bud]

Last night on channel four the true crime series followed a case involving the attempted theft of a motorcycle. The home owner chased the two guys in a car after they rode off on a motorcycle after being caught in the act.I

Anyone see it?

Wife was watching that when I came home from work. I only saw the part with the scrote being interviewed  " no comment, no comment, no comment "

Yeah I saw it , poor bloke got 22 months while the two scumbags walked away with community service and suspended sentences! I read this morning that the thieving bast*rds are also claiming compensation from the blokes insurance for injuries in excess of 750k

[Tiggie]

Should have the Australian law in that you cannot claim compensation if you are hurt/injured while committing a crime. I guess that just makes too much sense

What a blood boiling episode..so angry after watching that...bloody police and CPS

That just sums it up for us. Their injuries wouldn't of been so bad if they had helmets on. But they took them off, so the police wouldn't chase them.

Shocking state of affairs in this country. We are so f**ked up in so many ways.

In fairness it's not the police who are at fault. They only collect the facts as evidence.

It is the CPS who decide whether or not to prosecute, and they always go for the easy target.

Think if I was the bloke, I’d make sure they never got to spend their compo.

Ugly illiterate scrote interviewed only came in to talk about the incident & refused to talk about the lead up to it.

This is why I don't watch wind up TV cant beat a bit of violent TV fiction instead latest gangs of London is better watching. Film ice road with Liam Neeson in is a good watch too

The guy still had to appear in court and be tried in front of a jury of his peers. 
 

He was found guilty, which means the jury was unanimous in their decision.

 

im not saying this right or wrong as I don’t know enough about the case, but I think it adds some useful context to the situation.

 

I will say he was a fool for chasing them down after the fact. I don’t know what he hoped to achieve. It’s so far beyond the scope of reasonable force, too.

Red mist situation I would imagine. No doubt in hindsight he would agree with your sentiments.

I think the fact that he got 2 years in the slammer and they get f**k all basically….scum like these can steal out motorbikes with impunity and f3ck all happens 

[rennie]

Other countries can look so much more attractive..

[Tiggie]

That's a deterrent!! 

[husoi]

Where can we buy those ants?

[Yorky]

Would you class that as an "anti theft" deterrent
