Your right. My sister and her Husband are both coppers in the Met. They told me that they arrest the same people for the same crimes week in, week out. But there is no deterent and no punishment.
They never get sent to prison no matter how many times they get sent to court as their crimes, burglary, shoplifting, driving without insurance etc are seen as minor crimes by the court. They are given fines that they will never pay or community service that they won't attend. That is if they bother to turn up at court at all.
The police are not perfect but the real problem is our court system.
