I see all these leniance's as just another step to the slippery slope.
Burglary which used to lead to a spell in jail is just another telling off offence now, unless the poor burgler gets a smack, then the house holder goes to nick.
Get your car broken in to and you get a crime number instead of a visit from Mr Plod.
Get caught with drugs below a certain amount and its condsidered for personal use, so warrents a telling off and confiscation.
How long before murder is de-criminalised because to take some one to court wastes so much paper and the forests are rapidly disappearing.
I think laws are not made to be broken, and if it means building more prisons, then at least the builders will be in work.
