Grooverider released from prison

Grooverider co-presented a drum and bass show on Radio 1

Radio 1 DJ Grooverider has been released from prison in Dubai after serving 10 months for possessing drugs.
The DJ, whose real name is Raymond Bingham, was in the middle of a four-year sentence.
But he has been let out early after being pardoned by the Dubai Royal Family. He has flown back to the UK to spend time with family and friends.
The DJ was originally arrested on 23 November 2007 after being caught with 2.16 grams of cannabis at the airport.
At the time Bingham said the drugs were in the pocket of a pair of trousers and he had forgotten about them. He was handed a four year sentence in February.
Grooverider co-presented a weekend drum & bass show on the station.

Should fkin think so too. More important things to bang people up for, like shagging in public...

I was only thinking about the Rider a few days ago. I think it was quite harsh getting a bit of bird for the offence really; bet he's glad it's over.

[Spennyboy]

Dubai and the law seem to be 2 things you deffinately dont want to be mixing.

[BertRoot]

Yeah he fucked up and it is a shame but at least he got out reasonably quickly.

[prezzy]

It was harsh as fuck but he should have known better than to risk taking anything over there.

Glad he's out though, Grooverider were quality back in the day . . .

[marcode]

um.. didnt he get released like a fortnight ago.

[CzarJunkie]

They should have forced him to serve his full sentence. What kind of message does that send?

Dubai. Soft on crime, soft on the causes of crime.

Dubai. Soft on crime, soft on the causes of crime.

Thats right, anyone who tokes on a bliffer or shags on the beach deserved to be locked up for life.....really I'm serious.

Just as I'm being serious when I say they look really soft locking people up for 7 months for possesing a few spliffs.

And of course I'm not being serious when I say u must be soft in the head

Work that shit out

[Argyll]

If I ever go over there I'll definately be triple checking anything I pack and chain my fucking suitcase to me on the way.

[DJ OD]

Think he had a porno mag with him too...

Make sure you do. I'm sure I've read of someone who got jailed for less than 0.1g stuck on his shoe!

Personally I think this is stupid in both ways. I don't think he should have been jailed in the first place, however I fail to see why he's been released early.

[spiderbites]

I don't think he should have been jailed in the first place,

Why? the dumb cunt deserved what he got, there country you play by there rules, if you dont abide by those rules you pay the price
