Drug dealers get suspended sentences where I live even if we're talking tens of thousands of pounds worth of drugs , as do shop lifters, then they get arrested again, go back to court on some other offense and guess what happens... still no prison time, so whats the point in suspended sentences then?Police don't seem to bother about much at all these days
Prisons too full in the UK, so unless it's a crime involving the government missing out on taxes then they probably aren't bothered.
just tell the judge some sob story, they believe anything these days it seems, (anecdotal evidence from reading my local newspaper)
