Bad attitude!

"The High Court has put a block on the police practice of making drink-drivers pay for a doctor to take their blood samples.

The ruling by Justice Christine French is a win for Christchurch barrister Andrew Bailey and may mean urgent changes are needed to legislation, the Christchurch Court News website reported..."

Damned right they should be paying costs- if found guilty.

Another case of the legal system being nowhere near a JUSTICE system.

"...The ruling by Justice Christine French is a win for Christchurch barrister Andrew Bailey and may mean urgent changes are needed to legislation, the Christchurch Court News website reported.

Bailey's client was convicted in the District Court of drink-driving in March. He was fined $600 and ordered to pay court costs of $130, medical expenses of $102.60 and an analyst fee of $93, and disqualified from driving for six months..."

You were caught- if you had a pair you would man up and pay up. Here is a crime supposedly so bad the powers that be spend MILLIONS of our money campaigning against it, yet now the penalty has been further watered down from the slap on the hand he got.

Roll on the day when they hang the lawyers...
