Unlicensed 15yo caught drink-driving

Stray, if it doesn’t involve capital punishment or weird fucked-up sex, these guys aren’t gonna listen.

Shows what the public service does to you, don’t it?

Hang him

Heavs…got any proof to back up that assumption? There’s more than one 15 year old in Canberra you know.

Btw…if you are talking about the Clea Rose kid, he’d be what, 17, 18 now?

one effective measure may be (with the familys consent and appropriate sensitivities in mind) to make the kid view a crash body identification.
this would scare the s h !t out of anyone and would probably go a long way to reminding them what the ultimate penalty for negligent driving is, to victims, drivers and their families.

Ooh wow. Wonder what will happen when it comes out that this darling may well have been in THE infamous car chase vehicle. Things might not be so rosey for him then.

Mr Evil said :

Drop him in Tuggeranong with a $100 note super-glued to his forehead.

Wouldn’t work, they wouldn’t know that the note was Money.

The kid will get all kinds of fancy-sounding penalties from the court, which end up being nothing. Suspended this, bond that, yap yap yap. He’ll brag to his mates about how he was too tough for the court, and go off to see what other mischief he can get away with (and that’ll be most of it).

Given that he is underaged, 0.00 should be the limit. I think L platers have a zero limit, and he is yet to aspire to that level of enlightenment it should be the same.

So 0.02 is the “legal limit” for an unlicenced 15yr old?

Add to my last (temporarily invisible) comment.

I will say that hopefully just the arrest and court appearance would be enough to scare him, im not sure a day or two in prison would add to that. Unless he gets beaten or something like that, but thats not alright either.

Err… my comment is awaiting moderation… i assume this means no one else can see it… ah well.

mutley, i chose my words carefully in the last post. I do not believe what i said is black and white. I didn’t say will definately make the kid worse.

Which prisons are appropriate for a drink driving child?

Im guessing it has to be (oh god how do you spell it) quombay (… probably not like that). So detention for a day or two and make sure the parents are doing the right thing. Sounds alright to me, i think many RAers would still be howling about leniant sentences. But fuck em.

Add to this serious amounts of checking up on the kid to make sure he is going alright.

tap – depends on the prison. There are different types you know. Long Bay – No doubt, but I wouldn’t stick a recidivist speeder or drunk driver in there anyway. You keep saying this isn’t a black and white issue, but are very black and white on what effects certain responses would have.

I actually think one or two nights in the lock-up would sort out a lot of these kids – if done first time. Of course having a parent who would back up the coppers on this would also be useful.

I saw an Audi two nights ago driving the wrong way up a ramp at Glenloch … their Rate The Plate record indicated it wasn’t the first time they’ve done something stupid.

Lock him in a very small room with Barry Hall for a week.

They should surgically attach child and parents.. until they learn!!

hang a pork chop around his neck and release him north of the border for the gungahlites to sort out…

..hopefully he doesn’t see their treeless camouflaged trapdoors and is taken

mutley… do you disagree that chances (very much) are prison will make this kid worse?

For some of these little scumbags I think the worst punishment you can give them is giving them some absolutely spirit breaking, time wasting and endless chore, like making them scrape chewing gum off City Walk. Get them up at 5am and work them solidly until 10pm every Saturday and Sunday for two years.

If it’s his first offence, no conviction, good behaviour bond, fine, no holding a licence for 5 years.
(now the serious part is over)

If it’s his second or third offence, see above.

If it’s his fourth of higher offence, let him go because it’s cruel to put someone in prison, and they’ll just come out worse than they went in and you people are all fascists and meanies and….

Gnt im not sure about the punishment, but what the parents were doing while this was happening (and the previous 15 years of his life) should definately be looked at. Not making assumptions that they are negligent (or worse) parents or anything, but definately should be looked at.

By the Maelinar im still smiling at the line ‘haha @ tap, got no nuts.’ – thats hilarious. no nuts! no nuts! nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa!

Punish the parents????

No no Maelinar, dont hug and kiss others children… Thats against the law. Sorry if this upsets you.

haha @ tap, got no nuts.

I’m with Mr Evil on this one for any subsequent comments.

Why is there always so much pressure on this site to be serious!!!!!

I might wait until there is a more serious suggestion….

unless they are serious… 😉

if so, if i were a nutless kid that has just been put in bondage while the whole town bashed and buggered me I would be a little upset and angry with the world. You?

Throw him naked into the ‘mosh pit’ at World Youth Day and let Fr Fatfingers and Br Feelgood show him the errors of his way.

Thumper…we’re talking about about law and order. That sounds like some kind of weird-ass fetish.

Hug him and Kiss him and invite him to mungbeans and lentil dinner with WMD and Tap.

Oh, not that compassionate ?

Drop him in Tuggeranong with a $100 note super-glued to his forehead.

Tap, I personally like the idea of a public pillory. Genuine family entertainment.

I wonder how they’ll deal with the kid (if found guilty, of course).

The cynic in me is suggesting being unable to hold a license for 2 years.

This is fantastic. We could just cut and paste all the comments from the florey stabbing guy post and put it in here and be done with the whole thing right now. But we wont, lets do this again. Neanderthalsis, what do you think should happen to this child?

Big hat or little man ?
