Concurrent probation?
Lad leaves court and is asked how it went.
"got 6 months probation, to run concurrently with the six months probation for the other thing. So not bad really". Says the lad.
A Dad is in court with his son as the defendant. Dad asks the Usher how long it might take because he has Community Service to do. Good to see a parent being such a good role model.
A young man is found guilty of assaulting a Police Officer by spitting, but hang on a minute, new sentencing guidelines have recently been published so he will have to come back another day for sentencing. The prisons are full and in the words of the Court Clerk "assualt police has been downgraded."

Bloke who spat in the Coppers face avoided prison, whereas in the not so distant past he would have been sent down. I wonder if a defendant would be sent down for spitting at a Magistrate?
