3 tyres, drink driving, no insurance, only learner permit, fleeing Garda, driving into oncoming traffic, throwing his phone and coke out the window, 5 previous convictions, and not a day in prison.. my god

Will get downvoted to oblivion by the law and order brigade here but I think this is reasonable in the circumstances. The very brief summary of the case in the article states:
>Mr Le Vert said that after this offence, Fox’s long term partner gave him an ultimatum, and that he has been sober and clean of drugs ever since.
>
>Multiple testimonials were provided to the court, including a letter showing that Fox works full time with Dublin City Council as a general operative where he is doing very well, and that he helps his mother who has ill-health.
>
>Another letter from a community officer praised Fox for the great support he has given to local children, in particular one child who had suffered major trauma.
IMO putting someone who is turning their life around into jail and making a full time criminal out of them is bad policy. This guy is making a go at being a decent citizen. Let him at it. The suspended sentence will kick in if he slips back into crime.
Well of course he does.
At least he didn’t have a tenner worth of weed on him. Then he’d be in real trouble
