Problem is the judge who hands down the penalties is just a judge, not a waterman or interested party. Their only connection to the incident is handing out a sentence for the facts they are presented with. Then it's on to the next case

Of course some of these "judges" won't consider a repeat offender's priors, unless that is, he/she is being investigated for judicial misconduct or by the media!

With the way things have been going in legal circles, I'm not surprised the judge didn't try to re-write the laws so that this POS would be considered the victim of official harassment?

Or maybe some judges are friends of friends who take a big chunk of cash to make the charges go away.

(Just speculation...)
