No brainer?

A BBC journalist in London has been prosecuted for doing 36 mph in a 30 zone, and she has questioned whether the police would be better concerning themselves with the current serious outbreak of teenage violence in the city than pursuing people like her, where the law has been broken, but no harm has been done.  I think you can certainly make a distinction between offences which cause injury, and offences which simply have the potential to cause injury, and where, as now, the police need to prioritise how they utilise their resources, clearly the first category should take precedence.
