Serial tool, Ryan James Joseph, 20 of Perth should be gaoled after being fined for his 6th hoon offence. Joseph's other previous driving offences include driving while disqualified and reckless driving.
Despite the vehicle used by Joseph to perform the latest burnout being registered in his girlfriend's name, a magistrate ordered that it be confiscated and crushed by police. Prior to being siezed by police, the vehicle had already been trashed, allegedly by Joseph.
At the time Joseph committed the burnout offence, his girlfriend and 14 month old child were in the vehicle.
Speaking to the media, WA Police Minister Rob Johnson said: "It just shows you the irresponsible type of person that he was and I am glad that he is not only losing his vehicle but he will be losing his licence and I hope that he will be fined very heavily."
Does the minister honestly think that taking this guy's car is really a deterrant to him - he trashed it before police collected it. It shows that he couldn't care less what happens to it. As for losing his licence - the hoon has already been busted for driving whilst disqualified in the past, what will stop him from doing it again?
Add to that a heavy fine, do they really think it will deter someone with the mentality of Joseph?
The best way to deter Joseph and prevent him from driving is for him to be imprisoned for the duration of his disqualification. It is clear he has no respect for road rules and orders of the court.
