I wonder why her parents haven’t locked her up themselves and intervened. I understand that intervention is not legal in the UK, however if either of my daughters ever develop talent like she has I would lay down my life to get her the help she obviously needs, before its too late. SOMEONE HELP HER

Nigel, Spain,

Shame it took the police so long to investigate or there would likely have been forensic evidence. What stops police acting against the circle that has long ensured drugs destroy so much British talent, and the many others for whom they are probably role models? Awe? Complicity? Power? Money?

Jenny, Manchester,

They say they need evidence and can't prove the crack cocaine on the video was... crack cocaine.

Well get the evidence then. Raid her flat. Find the evidence and charge the consistent law breaker.

So far she's got away with assault and drug taking. Do we have any police left who do their job?

You go Amy..

They can not touch you for having fun... Having said that, I reckon you should give it a rest for a bit.. Trust me I know....

All the best

She's a Junkie and needs to go to Prison.
Still goes - one law for the rich and famous, one for the rest of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris, Rochester, UK

seriously, all those saying one law for celebs one for regulars.....theres no way charges could be brought if all the evidence is that video. there has to be some evidence that what was in the pipe was an illegal substance.

Dan, abdn,

I don't remember "Amy Winehouse Law" being passed in the Commons? All drug takers now how their perfect alibi: "I'm Amy Winehouse, the law can't touch me, I'm above all of you."

Disgraceful. The Met is losing more credibility every single day.

Tom Franklin, London, UK

1 - it may not have been crack, it could have been several other drugs that get smoked in such a pipe, not all of them class A and therefore sentencing would be impossible
2 - it may not have been a drug at all. Circumstance makes us think it was a drug but thankfully we cannot be charged for that

Ben Robinson, Brighton, UK

Tea Total is correct.The reason alchohol is such a hidden addiction (and more people are addicted to booze than crack or smack) is that they don't need to break social convention to obtain it.Drug addicts only affect society when they cannot obtain their drug.Until then who cares?

SoR, Chicago, U.S.A.

Where is the evidence that the substance in the pipe was crack? Any decent lawyer could get you away with a refuse charge, celebrity or not.

Still goes - one law for the rich and famous, one for the rest of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim Jacques, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham

Was there any "evidence" that what was in the pipe was Crack? I doubt it.

Nick, Stevenage,

It is only 'celebrities' who have grubby videos of their private activities plastered over the tabloids. So it is hard to say whether the police would prosecute a non-celebrity in the same circumstances.

David, london,

It sure does not, Roger.....amazing how every time all the celebs just "move on" - as one in the music business I accept she has a once -in-a-lifetime voice quality but that does not carry a stay outa jail pass, does it?

anyone else...........no hesitation......slammer!

roger anto, south, england

It was never possible to prosecute because there was no proof that the substance being consumed was illegal.

Phil Auster, London, UK

Why should she be charged ?
You are allowed to use alcohol - a drug !!

Alcohol is about ten times stronger than most drugs.
We should all notice that people who can afford drugs do not commit crime. It's the cost of drugs that causes crime.
Make them free and crime will go away.

Tea Total, Springfield, Bolognia

Of course she will not face legal charges, the Law doesn't apply to " celebrities".
