Yes, as I said earlier, the law is contradictory.
Even worse, it often seems to favour the criminal rather than the victim of crime.
I suppose it has never occurred to those in the position of making laws that to continue to favour and protect the criminal in such ways will achieve nothing other than encouraging even more crime in this crime-ridden country.
I'll repeat what I have often maintained should be a motto painted on our national emblem:
"Crime pays in broken Britain"!
