Normally, if you are out of bail and get arrested, you'll find yourself behind bars for violating said bail conditions. Not if you're Pete Doherty. Police screwed up and didn't produce Doherty in court within 24 hours to face the bail violation charges. So those charges have been dropped.
Perhaps he signed a deal with the devil to get out of all of his numerous drug busts, or UK courts view drug laws like US officials view immigration laws, inconveniences to be ignored? Police issued a statement about this latest screw up. "Senior officers from Tower Hamlets are currently reviewing processes to establish why Mr Doherty was unable to be brought before the court within the 24-hour time frame.
"It would be inappropriate to go into any further detail until the MPS is absolutely clear about the exact sequence of events." - Read about why he was out on bail in the first place.
