If I stole from someone, then I'd expect the stuff I worked hard to acquire in life to be confiscated. If I were to damage someone's property, like the trash in this video did, I'd expect to have a few or all of my fingers removed as punishment. After all, as I said, alot of the punishments that worked in the past actually reduced crime while the punishments we have these days do more to *increase* crime (such as putting criminals in prison's with TV's, plush beds, exercise rooms, libraries, etc. Basically a hotel for criminals) which is why many of them will go and commit a crime after they get out.

It's trains , buses and tubes robbing passengers , corner shops and train and tube stations stealing from customers e.g they haven't put a zone one to two travel card on their oyster card but £10 and the rest has gone in their pocket, and ticket inspector's. I've been a victim and took action and got my money back . These staff should have been sacked . Never forget five years ago a ticket inspector got on a bus and when she got to a Spanish man she said she is issuing a £40 on the spot fine . He didn't speak English but his wife did and she kept saying they both just put £30 each on their oyster card , it's his first time to London and he simply forgot to tap in. The ticket inspector who looked Nigerian quipped it doesn't matter and she is still issuing a fine and his not getting a receipt. A posh white man in a suit butted in defending the guy who he didn't know and reminded the ticket inspector he is filming her on his phone as she is in the wrong and he knows the £40 is going to go into her pocket and his going to take the tape to the police and tfl so she is arrested, sacked and sent to jail . She was still determined to get that £40 to pot in her pocket . The man kept repeating himself and in the end she didn't issue a penalty and told the woman to tell her husband to touch in. Not only Nigerian scanners operating online but for buses, tubes and trains as ticket scanners.
