And regardless, for crimes that were committed a long time ago, such as this one, sentencing based on the laws at the time of the crime doesn't really fit with this explanation, as the laws changed before he was charged. Maybe a better way of doing things actually, would be to sentence people based on the laws at the time of them being charged instead to get round the corruption issue you mentioned  |
let me put it this way, you are driving your car, you need to get somewhere fast, so you think ... 3 points on my license, i will take the risk. 6 months later after you are caught, the law is changed and speeding is now a driving ban, would you still have committed the offence?
