Out on bail and back to offending same day

On Friday, a 42-year-old Charnwood man on a good-behaviour order, was granted bail for alleged driving offences committed in 2024.

Bail came with restrictions, including not to drive a vehicle unless correctly licenced to do so.

Police say that by Friday night he was caught riding a motorbike with no lights travelling at high speed. He did not hold a valid licence and the motorbike was unregistered.

His new charges are breaching a good behaviour order, breaching bail, unlicensed driving and using an unregistered vehicle.

Nothing will change until a judiciary or politician’s family is harmed. Then there will be proper sentencing and strict bail enforcement.
