Should be much longer. It is high time that the sentence laid down, is the minimum time served, not that the word "served"
is appropriate. 25% of the time the judge/magistrate states is roughly all of the time spent in jail, spending a life of leisure whilst in there.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

These moronic people are destroying a great hobby and should get more than 7 years for robbing us of history and thinking they could get away with it.

Throw the book at them and confiscate all their detecting equipment then ban them from using a detector for 20 years

As you will see I agree with you, but, did slightly alter the end of your post.

They are scum, and need to be shown just what we responsible detectorists,
and non detectorists alike think of them. :g44:

Life of leisure ?

You know nothing about it John , let me lock you up in a 9 feet by 9 feet cell at least 22 hours a day and yes that’s at least 22 hours .
A hard bed that’s caravan sized bed not a single bed, 1 blanket . Yes you have a t.v that you pay for, it has 5 channels if your lucky with no remote .
Toilet that’s 4 feet from your bed , and not 1 second of privacy.

That’s only starters, don’t believe anything you read about prison life , it’s a long way from the truth

Yeah proper life of leisure John



They deserve all they get , and I also think 7 years should mean 7 years inside

Did I hit a NERVE, whoops. What do you expect Sympathy?, you wont get it from me, but, I do know what the cells are like, and the bed, and the toilet arrangement, having seen them from the other side of the fence.
I stick by my previous comments.
