When they fingerprint him they find he is known for multiple traffic offences, burglaries, a few assaults and of course the obligatory drink drive. As they now know who he is they release him...
I know you're only reporting the facts John, but
They should bring back the stocks if the CPS gonna wimp out every time.So, Mugen, looks like they made the same mis-read as you did! Pheeeeeeeeew!
Either that or on a lighter note, you are now officially not white and middle class - you can officially have fun now! I'd leave the car keys at home for a day or two, if you're out on the piss - just in case!

Until the general public start buying insurance with considerations other than purely price these things will happen. Insurers are a business and will give you the cover you pay for, don't take anything for granted.

The scum realise there is no deterrent, and we realise there is no justice or point in fighting the system. Everyone's a winner...
