Does anyone know what happened to the young lady in question?

[Beemer]

I guess it's not serious because she wasn't speeding.

Precisely - if she'd been speeding, they would lock her up and throw away the key. Doesn't sound like justice to me so far, if she'd killed a native bird she'd be in deep shit.

Old thread!

Would be interesting to know what happened to her thou.

And I hope everyone in this thread who read this orginally and thought our justice system was a crock voted for one of the parties that wants tougher laws

Justice should be about punishment, not rehabilitation.

[DemonWolf]

I think it should be about both.. but more hmmpht into punishment.

re-offenders get less of a chance with rehabilitation... depending on their crimes. Prison populations are growing... look at the over population at Auckland. Its not like we can ship them all off to a prison island... like.. hmmm Australia for example. And its not PC to use them as serious hard labour candidates... though I think they should be 'earning' the right for shelter and food over their heads... and with the upkeep of the prisons and paying for the wardens... hmmm chain gangs anyone? How bout a tunnel to the south island?
