If it is up to the Public Prosecution Service, Rick Brandsteder must complete a community service after his Dronkemans ride. Ridiculous, says Guido den Attrekker. “It is better to go to prison for 25 days,” said the Story boss.
Rick Brandsteder has been behind the wheel in the area of Breukelen, but is now trying to get out of his sentence with a very weak excuse: he states that he has only become drunk after his car accident. There is no one who believes him, but the question is: what is it possible to prove that his story is a chat?
Community service
What punishment requirement is against Rick? “The officer has demanded a 50 -hour community service and also a driving cancellation for the duration of 9 months, of which 151 days are conditional with a probationary period of 2 years,” the OM reports.
Rick’s behavior was unacceptable. “The suspect was guilty of driving a vehicle while he was under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis. This combination of agents seriously influences driving skills and entails considerable risks.”
Tom Waes-like
Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden points to the seriousness of Ricks offense. “A little Tom Waes-like is that, right?” He says in Shownieuws.
Story-boss Guido den Attache then: “Yes, extreme. (…) Personally, I find a 50-hour community service-then you are talking about six working days of parks or with the elderly-quite a moderate punishment. Certainly if you consider that the fire stders have been in contact with the police earlier.”
Dubai
Guido believes that Rick went outside his book. “I know the situation. It is a very narrow country road with a limited place to ride. He drove swinging and avoided another blue car.”
What punishment does he think Rick should get? “I am very strict about it. I sometimes come to Dubai and there is really a zero-tollerance policy. If you are caught there with a few drops of alcohol, you will even go into prison. Nobody will get it in their head to drink and drive.”
Murderer
Rick also earns that punishment, says Guido. “Driving red light and with alcohol behind the wheel: you are actually potentially a murderer. I think you should be very strict on that. Sorry, I think 50 hours of community service, six days …”
“The OM has also said:” If he does not meet that, for example by not challenging, he will go to prison for 25 days. ” That is a punishment that they should have agreed with, because I think that is coming a little harder. “
