How much time?

    Since today seems to be a day for interesting questions in the AH forum, here's one:

    We've all done little things wrong here and there. Some things that might be against the law. If you think back through any crimes you've ever committed (whether you were caught or not) and presumed you got convicted of all of them how much jail time do you think you'd get.

    You can name your crimes if you'd like to:

    Small bit of drug dealing in college.
    Theft.
    Drunk and disorderly.
    Possession of drugs.
    Burglary

    I think I'd get 3-4 years. Maybe a bit less.


    [edit] I am in no way condoning any of the things I did. But I was a bit wild in my younger years [/edit]

    A few days at most, especially when you take Ireland's sentencing into consideration.

    EDIT: Good Point Jeremiah

    Aside from that I don't think I've ever done anything really bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    I wonder if you can get prosecuted by disclosing crimes online...?


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,158 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    I'd be doing about 15 consecutive life sentences.

    Just drug offences and larceny here. Oh, and assault and drunk/disorderly.

    How much time would you get for streaking?

    How much time would you get for streaking?

    About six months.

    But don't worry - the time would go in a flash! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,484 ✭✭✭Archeron


    I am a shining beacon of law abiding citizenry. In fact, as somebody above said, with Irelands sentencing, I'm probably owed a few robberies at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,432 ✭✭✭Steve_o


    Drunk and Disorderly and a Smash and Grab.....those were the days!!!!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,467 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Drunk & Disorderly

    Motor Offences
    Public Exposure
    Shoplifting (sweets as a kid)
    Serving Alcohol After Hours


    Ooops, that'd be a few months anyway!

    drunk & disorderly
    petty theft
    drug possesion
    lewd conduct/public exposure or whatever pissing on the main street of town is called :confused:
    caught in pub afterhours
    trespassing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,743 ✭✭✭funk-you


    About 17-20 with good behaviour, possibly a life sentence for one thing if all the others were taken into account at sentencing.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭J.S. Pill


    Drunk & disorderly, indecent exposure etc. etc.
    Larceny & criminal damage (1)
    Drug possession
    Drug Dealing
    Shoplifting (2)
    Breaking & entering (2)

    Footnotes:

    (2) Committed when I was age 10-12. Sure we had nothing better do do. No X-boxes, Bee-bows or iPods in those days.

    (3) Self defence! I'm a lover not a fighter

    Several boardsies are Gardai. You might place them in a difficult position between being members of boards and trying to do their job?
