You get ripped off buying ticket or not
I am writing concerning the Scales of Justice (April 17): this section shows what a complete farce our legal system is.
I quote three examples:
A person who admitted downloading images of children was fined a total of £165.
A person who admitted drink driving was fined a total of £205.
A person who admitted travelling on a Chiltern Railways service without a ticket was fined a total of £575 for hardly the crime of the century.
It just proves that not only do you get ripped off by Chiltern Railways when you buy a ticket, you get ripped off even more when you do not.
I wonder if the legal profession get discounted fares.
