http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35531436 This is an interesting story in so much that it seems the CPS were 'pressured' into bringing this to trial regardless of the fact it was clear this guy couldn't have done what was alleged and would never result in a conviction. Everyone that sees the cctv footage is baffled that they still took it to trial. Then you have this one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-35472617 It just makes me shake my head. They decide they have enough evidence to give the driver penalty points and a fine, but not enough to bring it to court? Its a very odd system we have in this country where the chances of securing a prosecution seem to be determined by a coin flip.

StoneOfShame posted:Oh everyday, something I picked up working the pub trade, biggest drinkers in the world pub workers are. How many units are in a pint, 2? I work in a pub and play music so like 5-6 days a week I'm ending up on like 5 pints and a few whiskies. If I'm out with pals around double that. 100 units a week sounds about right. Don't quite smoke 30 fags a day though.

Its a very odd system we have in this country where the chances of securing a prosecution seem to be determined by a coin flip. It's more that the points and fine were for a different offence than the hit and run. It's annoying, but kind of understandable. They probably charged with with whatever they could instead of letting then get away scot free.

That's what my insomnia is for. Renaissance Robot posted:Whatever percent it is, that's how many units per litre.

Party Boat posted:I quite liked making fun of the Farage plan crash pictures until I found out that the pilot later suffered from severe depression and eventually killed himself. Poor sod, I'd probably do myself as well if I'd had a chance to kill Nige and failed.  Drinking usually gives me a headache in a hurry, so I don't do much of it these days. Occasional cider, even more occasional bit of rum or something. Probably averages like three units a month. I also don't smoke and never have. I don't do illegal drugs either. I'm loving boring.

The second one, they couldn't prove who was driving so he was charged with the most serious offence available, which is failing to provide details of who was driving. What else could they do?

jabby posted:The first one seems ridiculous, but CPS say they had enough evidence to bring it to court. At least the dude was found not guilty. There was much less evidence for the first than there is for the 2nd. From the way the guy who was hit by the car tells it, the police were sure it was the man that was driving, but the CPS would not take it forward. I also find it absurd that failing to declare who was driving can essentially make you immune to prosecution for crimes like this. I imagine if the bike rider had been killed this wouldn't have stopped them bringing it to court, but I guess its too expensive if someones just badly injured instead of dead, which also makes the first story even more absurd. I'd be really interested to see the average cost of a prosecution for the CPS.
