This one beggars belief!

"Driver jailed for injuring officers in Bedfordshire

A banned driver has been jailed for injuring two police officers in
Bedfordshire while trying to escape in a car he knew was stolen.

At Luton Crown Court, Ben Moisey, 24, got 16 months and was banned
again from driving for two years.

He admitted handling a stolen car, dangerous driving while
disqualified and without insurance, two charges of assault on police
and criminal damage..."

"...The two police officers wanted to arrest Moisey, of Wesley Road,
Sandy, for criminal damage but were both injured when he mounted a
pavement and drove off at speed.

Prosecutor Claudette Elliott said: "Both officers received injuries
causing them to be off work for weeks and they have suffered
flashbacks from the incident." ..."

Not very serious then. Compare this to and animal rights campaigner 11
years for 'conspiracy to blackmail'.

Yet again, something beggers Doug's belieth.

He, after trawling the internet has found a motorist, who has been
given a sentance less than his white as snow art's mates.

We all must be told about this, as we must be made to believe taht his
art's mates are innocent freedom fighters who have never done any
wrong.

Do not forget that digging up granies, firebombing, etc are all OK in
the 'greater good'

Does being sent to prison count as escaping serious punishment nowadays, Doug?

Sounds like they all could do with some Gene Hunt justice. Would save
us all the expense of putting them up in prison.

It was sad to see the Quattro shot up last night.

Public hanging probably.

Doug, what exactly 'beggared your belief'? The man injured 2 people and was
sent to prison for a year and a half accordingly. He has also been banned
from driving for 2 years. Would you prefer that he was shot?

No I would expect a much more serious penalty for someone who...

"He admitted handling a stolen car, dangerous driving while
disqualified and without insurance, two charges of assault on police
and criminal damage."

Still, its par for the course where so-called punishment of dangerous
drivers is concerned .

Handling stolen goods would not normally attract an immediate custodial
sentence except in cases of obvious recidivism. Even assault on police and
criminal damage are not automatically matters for which a prison term will be
doled out.

That leaves the actual driving offences, which must be what the custodial is for.

Eighteen months in prison is a fair old sentence. So is two years
disqualification on release.

What do you say should have been the punishment, out of interest?
