Being famous should not mean you are treated differently under the law, either positively or negativly.

If the situation demands a jail sentence, it should be for what Ms Price has done, not for who she is.

It’s not just famous people who get away with it though is it?
I seem to remember a driver in his early 60’s who had 16 points as was still allowed to drive.

Very shocked at this considering she's such a responsible person/ parent on TV.

Some years ago an acquaintance, totally blind drunk, demolished a fence at an RAF base and almost wrote off their car. They paid a (small) fortune for a loophole lawyer and got off on a technicality. It's not being famous, it's having money.

Agree with AH.

I suppose its one way, ( may be the only way) she could think of to get back into the limelight :0)

I'm as tired of reading about Katie Price as I am of those two in California. Ms Price is supposedly bankrupt but jets of on holiday or for cosmetic surgery at will, assaulted at home, drunk at an awards ceremony while with Harvey, in trouble with some of her followers and incorrect advertising. Surely it's time someone who is advising her or is her agent took responsibility for whatever is going on. I hope the fathers of her other children are keeping them safe and considering if any custody arrangements should be modified

62 points and no ban, never mind prison https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39053658

if you dont like an opinion
just start another thread on exactly the same point

because it was so good and NJ wrote it -
I can with a clear conscience pass off as my own

//Did Ant go to prison or was he just fined?//

No he didn’t. He was fined £86,000 and banned from driving for 20 months.

Those wishing to see Ms Price dragged away in chains are almost certainly in for a disappointment – whether she employs an “ambulance chasing” lawyer or not. Both offences she allegedly committed (excess alcohol and driving whilst disqualified) carry a maximum sentence of six months’ custody. However, I won’t go through the ins and outs of the sentencing guidelines but she is most unlikely to receive an immediate custodial sentence. If the court does decide a custodial sentence is justified it is all but certain to be suspended.

//A 3 month stint will have the desired effect…//

I can say with absolute certainty that she will not spend three months in prison. The maximum sentence that can be imposed is six months. However, almost all those sentenced to between three months and four years are eligible for “Home Detention Curfew”. This sees them released after serving one quarter of their sentence, subject to serving a minimum of 28 days. So the most she would spend inside (in the very unlikely event that she received an immediate custodial sentence of six months) would be six weeks.

The greater likelihood is that she would either be sentenced to a Community Order with various requirements or a suspended sentence (either with or without similar requirements). She is unlikely to be ordered to undertake unpaid work because of her health problems
