OK, the guy's a complete idiot, but...

.... haven't the police got something better to do than to keep picking up Pete Docherty?

Seriously. This is beginning to look like deliberate targetting. I have yet to come across an "ordinary member of the public" junkie that has been picked up with such frequency for possession alone. Perhaps the boys in blue want to make a name for themselves? Perhaps it is easier to do this than to investigate why your house was burgled or your car was broken-into? Or perhaps it is just a way for the government to show they are "tough on crime" ?

Either way, it is pathetic, and is becoming a waste of public resources.
