No sympathy from me.

Funnily enough, when I stopped hanging out with shitheads when I was younger, the cops left me alone.

These dills should trying applying the same to themselves instead of trying to be the "victim" when they are not. The victims are the ones they committed crimes against.

consorting laws have been around since i was a young bloke.

One of them has been to jail 7 times , why would he be entitled to a presumption of innocence when its highly likely he is involved with crime? People dont change their ways overnight, certainly looking at the video I doubt any of them have any intention of changing their life at all. They are just deadhead criminals that will never amount to anything unless they personally want to change their ways.

I was exactly the same when I was younger. I used to complain non stop about cops harrassing me. The truth is you generally only get harrassed if you keep breaking the law or keep hanging out with other undesirables. From memory my record was 17 charges in one week. I cant even remember how many times I was in trouble from 15 onwards when I left home. Nor do I want to.

These dills will eventually get sick of the coppers giving them such a hard time and will either stop seeing each other or they will move away. The cops will be happy , and maybe, they will decide to do something constructive with their lives.

Interesting to see this bit of info in an article in the Australian :

Sentencing Mr Foster, who also pleaded guilty to assault and failing to comply with the requirements of the child protection register

So what did he actually get for consorting ? It seems it wasnt the only charge.

Consorting laws (as mango mentioned) have been arounf since 1920 in Australia.

Edit : And more :

Foster pleaded guilty to meeting with three convicted criminals, as well as charges of assault and breaching parole.

If he only got 9-12 months for all that, #### me, he is doing well. I see he is now appealing and using "bikie lawyer" Baffsky.

Edit : Seems he got 3 months for assault and another 3 months for breaching parole, sentences to be served concurrently. So realistically, he got fark all. And he has had more warnings than are required under the law.

Although I had no sympathy to start with, I have even less now.

That's a bit harsh on the coppers mate...
