So, if you get caught carrying corrosive substances with no valid reason, you WILL NOT face jail.
Only if you are charged for a second, similar offence will you get a mandatory 6 months (reduced to 3 months for 'good' behaviour). And you have to be 18+ to even get that.
How is this a deterrent ? Carrying the likes of Ammonia or battery acid around can only mean one thing - you intend to use it in some twisted robbery or assault.
3 years for first offence, 10 years for second. And if caught after actually ruining someone's life with this stuff, a mandatory life sentence with min 15 years served, please.
Carrying this shit isn't a 'mistake' as would be claimed. He isn't a 'good person who loves his nan'. He is a fucking psychopath.
And I thought the Tories were supposed to be the party of law and order. About time they showed it.
