| In all fairness, it was her that requested a trial at court and the police then had to gather enough evidence against her to prosecute - using a helicopter and a plane as well as a car to video the route may be a bit overkill, but if that's what it takes to secure the conviction then that is what will happen.
However, the application of the law fairly across all crimes is shown to be a mockery with cases like this. Any Judge or Magistrate worth their while should call the Chief Inspector to the bench and get him to explain why they felt it worthwhile to use the resources they did.
It's a shame the same effort isn't put into securing convictions and then punishing the little scrotes who steal cars and burgle houses. |
