Wake up this really old thread! Interfering with the air ambulance is much more serious than interfering with police most of the time as most crimes are petty, someone's life is often at stake with the ambulance. Did this get changed so it's a crime now to do this because if not I will be writing to my MP, and so should you.
1 month of maximum jail time must be the shortest maximum jail sentence ever. Ever come across with a crime with a shorter maximum sentence (but still jail time) than that?
