A suspended sentence? One day she will kill someone.

@LittleRoundRobin

From another poster on another thread about Price.

For those who think she is 'ok actually...'

Her record of misdemeanours

April 2008 - caught driving while using a mobile phone

June 2008 - convicted over the April 2008 incident

September 2009 - caught speeding at 99mph

February 2010 - veered out of control into another lane while using a mobile phone, narrowly missing two other cars

July 2010 - convicted over the September 2009 incident

September 2010 - convicted over the February 2010 incident

December 2010 - caught on camera speeding and banned from driving for six months

July 2015 - convicted of failing to stop at a red light

February 2018 - banned from driving for another six months

July 2018 - photographed driving while disqualified

January 2019 - banned from driving for three months because of the July 2018 incident

October 2018 - found drunk in (crashed) vehicle

February 2019 - banned from driving for an additional three months for being drunk in charge of a vehicle in the October 2018 incident

October 2019 - banned from driving for two years over failing to provide details of the driver in the October 2018 incident. This ban was later reduced to 18 months, but she had a six-month ban from totting up penalty points so all together the ban ran through to October 2021

September 2021 - crashes car driving while still disqualified, having taken cocaine

After all this, she has STILL not been jailed!

As I said, (and so have many others,) no WAY would any of us on here have got away without a prison sentence.

How she keeps avoiding jail is a mystery!

When you see all this you think wow she isn’t she in jail

But wouid that help ?

Might make her stop and think

Nicknacky · 16/12/2021 14:31

@DogsandCatsB4u She’s been offending for 11 years. Do you really think she’s been having a breakdown all these years?

3scape · 16/12/2021 14:52

Surely jail is the only option for someone who drives whilst already banned? She's shown a commitment to reckless behaviour and contempt for the attempts to punish her.

BellaChagall · 16/12/2021 16:49

I absolutely fucking furious that she is now blaming her 'mental health'. She's a drink driver. How dare she blame it on mental health. My family was destroyed by someone like her. A drink driver.

I hope this woman never shows her face on tv or in the media again. They should shun her and she should go and get a proper job.

BellaChagall · 16/12/2021 16:49

I am absolutely.... so angry I couldn't type properly.

@DogsandCatsB4u

This woman needs help and I don’t think jail will help her. She is having a mental breakdown I don’t want to judge her

I bet you would if she killed one of your children or your husband

Why has my post been deleted ? My post contained undisputed fact

whynotwhatknot · 16/12/2021 19:00

11 years of unlawful driving and shes blaming mental health

so technically she shouldnt have had more children because of her addiction and mental health

Most likely… Because one of the mumsnet moderators is a Katie Price fan. There’s no rhyme or reason to a lot of deletions on here

OneRuleForThem · 16/12/2021 21:34

I just feel like some people are harsher because it’s specifically her. There are also people who have done way more than this who aren’t famous and never been jailed for anything, so I don’t particularly understand the “just because she’s famous” point of view used previously by someone??

That’s bollocks. Name one person that’s ‘done more than her’ but has never been jailed. I’m so sick of the KP fan club on here.

I really really really doubt that anyone has had as many convictions and been caught as many times and still walked free although I'm very happy to be corrected can you find proof of this statement?

Are there? Or are you just guessing?

People with nine convictions related to dangerous driving, who have defied bans repeatedly and never had a custodial sentence?

She is a menace on the roads. My life was ripped to shreds by a drink driver. It will never be the same again.

That is why this makes me so livid, not the fact she's famous. I would be just as disgusted if she weren't famous.

Imagine you'd lost a loved one to a drink driver or, like me, barely made it out alive and had life changing injuries. Would you still say people are being harsh saying it's a disgrace shes dodged jail time after nine convictions related to driving offences? She has shown a complete lack of remorse by reoffending over and over for more than a decade. In her case, bans and fines haven't worked.

Why not try a punishment that would be a real shock to the system and potentially make her step up and stop her behaving this way?

I would be genuinely interested to hear your answer after you read my post and really try to take what I'm saying on board.

NandorTheRelentless · 16/12/2021 22:10

I've only seen 3 people here that dont seem to think she is as bad as all that

I can’t name a person because they’re not famous people, I don’t know their names. Have you never read the local news where an article reports on someone who has had absolutely loads of previous mishaps but did not go to jail for them and not jailed for that one either? I just feel like it’s because people already have a prior dislike towards her and are now judging her more harshly because of this what has happened . I’m not responding anymore on this thread from tonight, too many questions

youvegottenminuteslynn · 16/12/2021 22:17

@OneRuleForThem

Too many questions? More like too many reasonable challenges that you can't tackle.

youvegottenminuteslynn · 16/12/2021 22:18

And no @OneRuleForThem I've never read about someone with nine driving related convictions, including flouting repeated bans, who never got jail time.

PinkWaferBiscuit · 16/12/2021 22:19

No, honestly not once have I ever heard of anyone have so many chances and get off so lightly for so long. I have no doubt some people get several chances but I am incredibly sceptical anyone has ever had as many as Katie Price for the prolonged repeat and disregard of the law.

Northofsomewhere · 16/12/2021 23:10

But again it's the whataboutery, surely you have to hold everyone to the same standards (the whole point of having laws). If someone else has indeed received 9 convictions for dangerous driving (I highly doubt it) but has received minimal repercussions (repeating the same over and over to no effect) then of course the should be jailed too. While burglary and theft are serious crimes, unless they are violent they are unlikely to result in someone's death. Every single time she chooses to drink/use drugs/speed she puts other people's lives and health at risk. People can do what they want with their own lives, she wants to drink heavily or take drugs in her own home then fine (she's doesn't currently have an caring responsibilities for her children) but don't put others at risk. She's done it repeatedly, why should she continue to not receive actual repercussions rather than basically another holiday at The Priory.

No, because as I’ve said it’s bollocks. You’re just making stuff up.

Rosewaterblossom · 16/12/2021 23:23

@thebabessavedme

She seems to be hell bent on self distruction, so far the 'softly softly' approach does not seem to have had any effect on her, perhaps a prison sentence would pull her up sharply enough to make her realise the bloody mess she is in, possibly a year or 2 of living without social media and a hungry press and endless love affairs would actually do her good - I have a feeling that she has no idea anymore that her way of life is totally not 'normal'

I think if that did happen, not doubt she would seal a book deal about her "life in prison..." and so the circus would continue...

willstarttomorrow · 16/12/2021 23:33

The UK legal system is pretty rigid and complex, so whilst people get very angry about high profile cases 'getting off lightly', judges cannot and do not hand down judgements and sentences on a whim or based on public opinion. Lots of crimes are very emotive. I work in child protection and deal with family courts all the time. Sometimes criminal courts get involved, they are totally different thresholds.

The issue is (same with child protection) most people do not understand how the criminal justice system works. Just because there is not a custodial sentence, it does not mean there are no consequences. It is managed in a different way to throwing someone into prison. There are restrictions, non-mole orders , requirements to complete work around issues and maybe community work. Those sentenced to life, remain under scrutiny for life-although some are released from prison. No one comes out of prison in a better place than they went in- many are care leavers, people with mental health problems, victims of horrible abuse from birth.

Emerald5hamrock · 16/12/2021 23:33

I'm glad the DC have secure fathers, except Harvey's it is sad they are separated from each other.
5 young lives thrown in chaos.
I understand she has MH issues she is also a very selfish person who needs to get over her self fulfilling drama and look after the DC she has, she continues in self destruction mode and has had umpteen opportunities to get help. Selfish.

@DogsandCatsB4u

This woman needs help and I don’t think jail will help her. She is having a mental breakdown I don’t want to judge her

The primary purpose of imprisonment is public protection. If someone is under lock and key, they cannot reoffend. It is the most suitable sentence for a recidivist.
