A judge has criticised police for going for easy targets rather than dealing
with crimes which have affected other people.

"A judge today hit out at a police force and accused them of concentrating

confiscate the assets of a convicted fraudster would have to be postponed
because of a lack of manpower."

I suppose it makes a change from the police criticising judges for their
over-lenient sentencing and inappropriate bail decisions...

I wonder if he's just been nicked for speeding.
And I bet he doesn't know who the Beatles were.
