Legal Insanity

Here is some more legal justice insanity.

Within 48 hours of learning of the ridiculously light penalty of Pete Doherty, comes another equally unbelievable report at the opposite end of the spectrum.

According to Sky News today, a man in Ayreshire was given a £60 fixed fine and 3 points on his drivers licence for blowing his nose while stationery stuck in traffic and having already applied the handbrake.

That story goes hand in hand with the owner of a car who has 3 times been fined for speeding while driving at 0 mph, while they were not even inside the car, as it was parked outside their home.

So have a runny nose and driving a car is worth £60, owning a car near a fixed speed camera is double that and yet owning so many drugs you have lost track is a piffling £835.

It really makes you wonder if anything is logical any more.
