I was watching some cop clip show last night, it was an American one, and actually quite good.
Normally the voice over narrator is far too shouty, but this one wasn't.
Anyway, some spotty faced kid, being chased in a 4X4 gets rammed by a cop, and stops. He'd been driving like an arse, at high speeds, and got probation.
Some drink drivers (the car pulled over, and the driver/passenger swapped) who crossed the central reservation, and drove in the path of oncoming traffic, and were so drunk the cops had to pull them out of harms way when they staggered along the road, got 2 days in gaol, and some fines. Which I was astonished by.
Then a serial shop lifter, stashed some gear by the doors of a store, then set fire to the store, and made her escape with her loot. She got about 5 years. Again, that seemed too lenient to me.
Then this bloke, with no previous convictions, who pleaded guilty straight away, was caught on CCTV looking shifty, and buying cough mixture in a pharmacy in a shopping mall. He was then filmed on a carpark CCTV, mixing the cought mixture up with something else, the police arrived, as he was walking off some place else, and unlike many of the other people in the show, he didn't swear, shout, get violent, or try to run away. He got 8 years!
So, I know the drugs are bad - but the narrator was saying it was the fact he was making it, and making it in the car, that made the crime so bad. Does it go bang then?
I was suprised how lenient most of the sentencing seemed to be overall in the show, and the vermin that opened fire on traffic cops when they'd been pulled for speeding, they got what they deserved. I was suprised this meth guy got 8 years though.

), it's not that complex of a process.
