very good boom boom mr roy
rangers are national parks and wildlife officers employed by the state you are not supposed to drive away when challenged by them i'd say the judge took a dim view of that

Most of the poachers I know of have all the documentation they need, usually for large 4x4, which sometimes contains a paying client in the passenger seat.
Not all poachers are lowlife, some are distinctly respectable (hah!). Not many of them end up in front of the beak
Sounds like you know of a few, have you passed this intel on to the Police?
As for poachers losing drivers licences I think it's an outstanding idea, if they have shown that they can't be trusted to use a firearm surely they shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car. If that costs them their job even better, frees up a job for an honest person.

If theft is theft why is it not classed as armed robbery then some real time could be served

Because Robbery is the crime of taking or attempting to take something of value by force or threat of force or by putting the victim in fear.
ATB
According to Chambers dictionary `robbery` is the act of stealing.
There is no mention of force, threat or fear.

No not true. Chambers online: robbery noun (robberies) the act or process, or an instance, of robbing, especially theft with threats, force or violence.
However it's not a dictionary you want, but criminal law:
Section 8 of the Theft
Act 1968 provides:
"(1) A person is
guilty of robbery if he steals, and immediately before or at the time of doing
so, and in order to do so, he uses force on any person or puts or seeks to put
any person in fear of being then and there subjected to force.
ATB
There was no mention of robbery in the original post.
The case was about shooting a deer illegally at night seemingly with a licensed firearm and using a vehicle to remove the stolen property and then trying to escape when confronted by the Rangers.
My reference to the Chambers dictionary is word correct in my copy.
`rob` verb [steal from], `robbery` noun [-ies] [the act of stealing].

I was not answering the original post, hence the quote.
I cannot know what your dictionary says but it's strange that Chambers online says something different to your copy and agrees with every other reference I can find. Perhaps you should get your money back
None of the above changes the meaning of "robbery"
