Driver Jailed For Doing 192 mph !

His sentencing would have taken into consideration his past convictions, so no, it's not a "viable metric" at all. It's pretty obvious this isn't going to have been his first run-in with the justice system. You do realise the majority of people in prison aren't rapists and murderers, don't you?
And seeing as you keep bringing it up: Rape is one of the most difficult crimes to secure a conviction on, for various reasons. If the guy had filmed himself raping someone four times he wouldn't be getting a 6-month custodial sentence as you seem to be suggesting.
No.

That was the first thing I thought of from the OP's thread. Thing is the guy got done for four counts which is the cruncher.
Its making me cringe reading some of the trolls posting in this thread.
The jail sentence is disproportionate to the offense but as i said before there is clearly more to this than a case of speeding. Namely his previous criminal history and refusal to take responsibility. They discovered these videos after going through his phone relating to a separate arrest so they were clearly going after him for something serious. If this was average Joe being caught with a few speeding videos a 2+ year jail sentence would be ludicrous.

"Troll" is not shorthand for "someone who disagrees with me".
Firstly, you can't compare sentences like that without considering all manner of factors around the circumstances of any case you're applying this argument to, sentence guidelines, the judges in question, etc.
Secondly, it's perfectly possible that those who think the speeding sentence is sufficient also think that the rape sentences you're bleating about are too low.
There is no way Crinkleshoes doesn't realise this, he's just posting in bad faith.
What?? Who is disagreeing with me?
I was making a reference to those saying controversial things to try and start an out of context argument.

Indeed, plus he's not posted a link to back his claim up, I don't beleive for a second that someone was found guilty of rape and only received a 6month sentence, even more so if it was drug rape.

The guy has previous convictions - as in any case, this will have been considered whilst determining his sentence.
