Indeed. Joe Public, for example, wouldn’t be constantly followed by the press and scrutinised so carefully. He could, and often does in my experience, get up to much the same stuff as Amy and Pete without ever running into a policeman at all and go happily about his day.
If, Bob Marley forbid, Amy does come a cropper one day, I’d lay odds it will be more to do with the constant pressure Daily Mail and Sun reading morons bring into her life than her Columbian marching powder habits. Why are you all so interested? That’s what I find so baffling. Bunch of old fish-wives, you lot.
As for the couple in Mary’s original article, amongst the moral outrage it states quite clearly that they got the treatment they received because they could afford to buy that much without it necessarily meaning they were dealing. Your average lad doesn’t have two grands worth of gear hanging around without it meaning exactly that and, so, they are punished with that in mind. Quite simple, really, when you set aside your frothing moral indignation for a second and have a bit of a think.
