Ian Blair
Synopsis:
'Put cocaine stars on trial, says Met chief'. Met Commissioner Sir Ian Blair called today for celebrities who are filmed apparently taking drugs to be put on trial.
The Scotland Yard head is calling on prosecution lawyers to review the current practice which means people are not charged because police cannot prove which substance they are taking.
In an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard, Sir Ian cited the case of Kate Moss. Police and lawyers were unable to take action after she was pictured snorting lines of white powder.
