Ha, it's a colloquial term for traffic cops and short for 'hobby bobbies' because they get a thrill from flashing their blues and sounding the siren while driving around.

It's actually quite derogatory as they're perceived by most cops as not really doing much apart from the above and needlessly closing roads, alas a hobby.
I believe in Merseyside, 'hobby bobbies' was always a term for 'Specials'... Part time volunteer Police Officers.
 
Youre right, it wont be the same judge that hears the appeal, I was saying that they may wish to apply to a different magistrate to fix bail tomorrow, but it appears they will do it in front of the same judge today.

usually an appeal from the mags court will be heard by the county court, presided over by a crown court judge. If a sentence was unusual, for example outside the sentencing guidelines it could be taken to the court of appeal by way of case stated by either defence of CPS. A judicial review in the High Court would not be appropriate for appealing mags court sentence (it is the mechanism for appealing the lawfulness of a decision of a public body)

If he appeals, its very likely that it will be the sentence only and not conviction. Drink driving is strict liability and refusing to provide a sample carries the same sentence. He may actually get the 30 months reduced on appeal as you generally get a driving ban of 12-24 months and a fine for your first drink driving.

He will have been given some 'credit' for pleading guilty, albeit not at the first opportunity.

10 weeks immediate custody (do half inside) for refusing to provide a specimen is a harsh sentence - albeit the DJ clearly thinks he deserves it. Refusing to give a sample multiple times does not in itself constitute multiple offenses but rather aggravates the circumstances. I can only imagine how condescending he was. he should though have been given the benefit of a suspended sentence and I think that's what he will get on appeal.

What a horrible man he is.

He won't even do half, it's be 1/4.....He'd be out the first week in September.

Shakhtar, Salzburg and Genk.

I wouldn't mind them getting Salzburg. They've got to get one team out of that pot and Salzburg are a lively side who they'd think they only have to turn up to beat.

Agree apart from Ajax. They are a threat to anybody despite losing their wonder-kid central defender.
