Imposing 12 months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, Judge Bate said he had taken into account Hill’s plea and gave him credit for it.
Hill was also disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to do up to 15 days Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) and 300 hours unpaid work.
What do they mean by suspended for 18 months? Jail sentence will start 18 months from now? Hope the prosecutor appeal for that. What rubbish.
18 months probation. If he gets in any trouble during that time, he’s doing 12 months. It’s a joke. We have the same court rulings every week in Germany and it’s just sad at this point.
I remember a truck driver illegally cutting across a supermarket parking lot to avoid a traffic light, killing a kid, getting no punishment other than his license suspended for A SINGLE MONTH and then having the fucking audacity to fight that in appeals.
This page explains it, basically you don’t go to prison itself, but you have certain requirements/conditions (stuff like community work) and if you break the terms you might then get sent to actual prison.

Absolutely shocking.
Jeez! UP to 15 days of rehabilitation, that poor guy! I sure hope it will not waste his weekends plans
