I saw today on our local news: BBC Custody death from 'misadventure'

His parents statement read "Paul Dyer had a right to life like anyone else. The family of Paul Dyer came to this inquest in the search for the truth"

HELLO???

The truth is their son was driving a car Drunk. The truth is their son swallowed a a whole load of cocaine. If their son hadn't swallowed the drugs and if he wasn't drink driving when he was pulled over he would still be alive today. There is no-one else to blame here. If he had said "officers, I'm drunk and I just ate a whole load of coke, I think I'm going to be in trouble" THEN they could have done something about it.

Even when I was still at school all those years ago I knew then you never mix drink and drugs. What did he expect was going to happen?

Why do people always try to lay blame on someone else. He was commiting 2 very serious offences and his death was a result of these offenses. If he had been law abiding at the time he got stopped he would be alive today. Trying to lay blame on others is stupid imo.

This reminds of the thief who broke his leg falling over a cable on the floor while stealing the home owners possessions. He was caught and jailed but then sued and WON because he broke his leg. The world has gone mad!

Did anyone see Mersey Beat on monday?

One of the people on the series said something like "burglary has pretty much been de-criminalised". I've never heard anything so true spoken on TV before.

I rember a case where a very well known local burglar who had 22 pages on his criminal record for burglary and other such offenses. He went to Court on 2 counts of burglary and 45 other burglaries T.I.C. He got 120 hours community service.

HAHAHA I bet that really deterred him.

This is the very reason Police morale is so low. You really do start to think if arresting anyone is worth it because you'll do hours and hours of paperwork, go to court and watch them pretty much walk free time after time after time after time.

Instead of the Government raising maximum sentences they should raise the minimum. If the minimum sentence was 6 months in prision for burglary then that is what every burglar would get. Crimes against homes are hidious crimes where people often will never in their life feel safe again.

Crime should not pay!
