Serious crimes such as assault and mugging will be punished by on the spot fines of up to £100.
Only £100? What do you think of the plan?

Didn't Bliar come up with this ages ago - talked about dragging the yobs off to the cashpoint or some other stupid idea.
And since you don't have to give the police your name and address, or carry ID, how are they going to give you a ticket.
Another hare brained scheme from this useless government.

Oh, does the £100 get passed directly to the victim?
(sorry couldn't read the link on the computer I'm at)

So it is now the police and not the courts who will decide if you are guilty? Hmm

what a joke - why dont we just get tough on criminals instead of all these hairbrain schemes? Chop their hands off like they do in certain muslim countries - bet their crime rate is much better than ours? oh but we cant because of all these human rights activists - ARSEHOLES the lot of them- what about the rights of the 99% of good law abiding citizens?

You just have to laugh. Punish a mugger by issuing them a fine. I wonder where the cash to pay the fine will come from hmmm?
I prefer the way it's handled in Scotland. They are arrested and a report is sent to the Procurator Fiscal who then decided which action can be taken. The 3 main decisions are: Proceed to court, No further action, or the offer of a Fiscal Fine.
The Fiscal Fine is offered when there is enough evidence to secure a conviction but would be a waste of public resources to go to court.
