bail justices seem to revel in the power they have to over-rule police decisions to have these people remanded in custody until seen by a full-time magistrate.

For once, i do feel sorry for the wallopers, who arent allowed to chase people like this, and if they do catch them, have to watch them be released if they get a good (free) lawyer, dress in a nice suit and promise to come back when asked to.
And that comes partly back to the final point in my earlier post.
Why is our legal system so slow/costly and archaic.
People can be on remand for months whilst someone makes sure a piece of paper has the correct number of stamps on it etc
If you detain someone, you must deal with them swiftly.
I find it interesting that if you make cars or clothes etc, and are under pressure, you have to work harder for less or be outsourced. If you have a legal system under pressure, the govt has to provide more money
As soon as this nut is charged, news outlets wont be allowed to use his name or mention his past ( even tho its all over the web and on their historical blogs ), as it might prejudice his trial.
They will have to say "alleged", or risk contempt, even tho the whole lot is on video etc etc
Time for the "whole" legal system to do some changing, or be outsourced, like eveyone else who is no longer "cost effective"
