Likely Sentence

[JimmyCooper]

Hi

This scenario happened to me a couple of weeks ago:

Dawn Raid by Police and Trading Standards
Approx 30 items of counterfeit jewellery seized
Approx 150 items sold on ebay for between £25 and £30
Items if genuine retail for between £200 and £300 hence a "loss" to the industry of between £35000 and £50,000.00
Questioned at police station they are awaiting forensics from a laptop (nothing on it)

Never been in trouble before

Any idea of likely punishment?

Thanks

Hallo, B00 :o)

I understand exactly what you are saying, however, JimmyCooper is utterly blase about his actions and ought to know better than to initiate a thread without displaying a modicum of contrition...........

[another-view]

I think he's making friends with Bubba in cell 5.

[sara3]

he's gone to pack his toothbrush, Bobbi :o)

[ummmm]

I doubt he goes to prison...

[B00]

Ummm- the poor sod's probably already racing to get to the nick, owt to get away from this baying crowd ;-)

[Bobbisox]

he is very conspicuous by his absence..LOL

[Bobbisox]

If he thinks he's been hard done by BOO, he should be in here giving sh!t back ???

[daffy654]

If they find all his illegally downloaded music in their investigations he could be in even more trouble.
I doubt he will get a custodial sentence but they will fine him and may confiscate property under the proceeds of crime act.

This guy has done wrong, is clearly cr*pping himself about the possible outcome and is just asking if anyone can advise him. Now I don't condone what he may or may not have done and I don't necessarily think he's a "loveable rogue". I'm just not into taking advantage of someone while they're down and kicking seven shades of sh*it out of him just to vent spleen. If I want to get into that kind of suburban, curtain twitchy, small minded, petty nonsense -I'll go out and buy the Daily Mail.

Perhaps if you had bought something from this toad, you may feel different.

[Bobbisox]

maybe he should have gone to the Citizens Advice Bureau instead then!

[Nosha123]

Hey Mustard.. I think thats a little strong...

kicking seven shades of sh*it out of him just to vent spleen

If you knowingly break the law you have to accept the consequences. I would like to point out that several posters were asking him questions about whether charges were made etc - and he chose to ignore them ALL... only responding to the wind up comments.

We're all grown up here - if you cant take the heat - stay outta the kitchen... and Jimmy clearly is!

Hey AV...been there done that, bought a "Rolex" for 30 quid years ago -no hard feelings towards the "toad" that sold me it either -and it still works LOL.
