Jail is the new survivor show to lose weight in, set up a donation line, so we can donate to your legal fund, so you can get a good lawyer to keep you free, just to piss these morons off..

Chris, you want to donate money to some person whose actions have meant the public can now find out who the young victim is of one of the cases. Perhaps before you donate money you should consider how that young girl is feeling right now. Perhaps you should comprehend how his actions have attacked a very young girls safety and privacy.

Ministry of Justice wrote:

Cameron Slater has brought the police into disrepute; brought the Judges into disrepute; brought the justice system into disrepute; and generally made the whole establishment look like a right bunch of t;ts. Rest assured Mr Slater will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and even further if "perverting the course of justice" produces a conviction. The Ministry does not want to implement an internet blocking system (like the "notice and take down" system the Law Commission recommended last year) but as Mr. Slater and others have forced the issue the Ministry will do whatever it takes to protect victims of crime, children, the rich and famous, Police, Judges, CYPFS and other Government departments from public scrutiny.

And why not impose a 10 year ban on internet access on top of a prison term? Like an alcohol ban on those whose crimes are related to alcohol abuse. That would hurt.... Sentencing these days needs to be more creative.
