This is so symptomatic of Nanny-Statism and moronic leftism.

He was found guilty of assault and racial aggravated assault for attacking his ex-wife's Sri Lankan boyfriend while he was shit-faced, he drank fifteen pints before attacking him!  He was ordered to do 150 community service hours and to go to counciling for his alcohol abuse. 

However, his probation officers decided he might violate the EU's 48-hour work regulation, as in, you can't work for over 48 hours a week in the EU.   His probation officers brought it to the court, arguing that because he drove for a living, he can't be burdened with doing service hours as well.  The court agreed, and he gets out of doing service.  It sounds like they're catching enough heat that they won't do it again.
