The full force of the law is rarely used, you so often hear about someone getting a suspended jail term. In other words, they get a jail term....but they don't have to go. Another example is parole, I do understand that situations and people change over the years, but a murderer getting a 20 year sentence and being offered parole afetr 10 years, why not just sentence for 10 years, but I would say that that is too lenient. I don't think one off "hooning" offenders should suffer too much, its when they don't learn that things should get severe.
