Magistrates courts only have limited sentencing powers (usually 2 years max). If the accused are charged with a statutory offence that can carry a potentially longer term on first conviction and during the process plead not guilty, it has to go before a court with longer sentencing powers.

:rotfl:Where do you get this stuff Steed, thats a classic!

*off to read UK online news*

I'm afraid I must have an intimate first-hand examination of the evidence presented before I can make my verdict.

I see the monkeys have now joined the coalition of the willing lead by the elephants. Global war on humans rages on. Who's next? The dolphins?

Can someone tell me what bloody hell was going through this guys head that made him, instead of gawking at the bewbs, call the police... IS THIS GUY FREAKING INSANE!

My guess is that:
A) He has a very dull job and leaps on any opportunity for action.
B) He is scared that he will get in to trouble if he doesn't report it and his boss sees it.

that's nonsense.

I believe that doing this joke is unaccpetable, for its nature. A 21-years old is supposed to be mature and able to determine good and evil, isn't it?

I know that they're doing this for fun, yet they've past through the bottom line. If others get offended, this act is definitely an offence. Perhaps the watchman has a (religious) belief that looking at others' breast in a sin. These two womans offended the watchman by showing him stuffs that he wasn't supposed to see, thus he gets angry and calls the police.

(I'm not trying to say that being a peeping Tom or whatsoever is totally acceptable)

Here in Ontario
showing your mamalian protrubences is legal

being a peeping tom
Civil servant that gets caught
using a publicly owned camera isnt.

Have you seen our tabloid newspapers? In the UK we don't really find boobs all that offernsive, some might even like them:up:

See my post about some peoples need to have a log removed from their arse. Ayone who gets offended ennough to prosecute for something as trivial as this should not hold a job as being a cctv monitor in the first place.

If he was zooming in on the two girls before they flashed the camera and he had held them in focus for an extened period of time, he could be considered a peeping tom. If he was just paning across the beach, then the girls are at fault.

What is the world coming to.

The wife said she'll stick with her goldfish :lol:

:rotfl::rotfl:

She wouldn't let me get her a ferret after she saw your sig :lol:
