Man refuses to wear 'Community Payback' jacket

The clause saying he had to wear it wasn't in force when he was sentenced...? Should that make a difference.

Well it only applies to people sentenced (and those signing their contracts?!) before the jackets were introduced, so it ought not to apply to anyone else. The good news, shirly, has to be he feels humiliated to have to wear one. Exactly! So maybe it works, and maybe he (and is ilk) won't do the crime if they can't the 'time' (so to speak) in future. Publicise their crimes in their communities, parade them through the streets for what they are criminals. Shame 'em!

Sounds like a gangsta scumbag, should make him wear a dress behind bars for several years

When are these courts going to realise ITS A FECKING PUNISHMENT!!!!! Not holiday camp!!!

Jesus!!! And they wonder why prisons, etc,. don't work, and why our country's youth are more troublesome than ever!

Goes without saying!!!

Britain, the place where criminals are treated as Higher class citizens!!!

I don't understand what his problem is anyway. The jacket says "Community Payback", not "I've been a naughty boy" or even "I'm a lying, cheating scumbag, please kick me". It's not like it's blatantly obvious what's meant by community payback.

Heyho. Yet another chav whinger. Surprise, surprise.

If you read on you will find despite this case he will still have to wear the jacket.

For fks sake....

QUOTE "But the court heard Beales, of Caister, Norfolk, had refused to wear the garment after arguing it would lead to “humiliation and embarrassment”.

That's the whole point of making you wear it you fking idiot!

God forbid that any criminal should actually be embarrassed at getting caught and then publically ridiculed, Political Correctness 1 - Common Sense 0

Poor fella? He's a criminal in the process of being punished. Don't do the crime if you can't take the time.

The use of a rolleyes at the end of that post indicates sarcasm.

Just so you know.
