Well, some Prosecutors need to get off their duff and realize some things, obviously.

Um, every arrest goes to court, in it's own way. If a charge is filed. But officers can't file charges. At least in the US version of the common law.

The courts based within the justice system in the UK have some of the strongest sentencing powers available to those in the western world.
The real problem is, they do not hand out the tariffs they have within their power to give.

75% of our so called laws are now from the EU Parliament and rising as are own MP's give them more power.

I've often wondered what would happen to the sentencing system if it was judges and their families who were suddenly targetted by the maniacs in society. What would the attitude be from them if it was them and their families that were being murdered, raped and burgled

Too true, Jim. We need to stop giving chance after chance to repeat offenders and have the nads to issue no bail sentences when it comes to rape and murder.

Something I wondered for years, I would like to know their opinion when the rapist who raped their 8 yr old daughter is walking free again.

The EU has nothing to do with what tarrif a judge sets for a sentance. Precident, guidlines on sentancing and the circunstances of the crime are what they consider when setting a sentance.
