[QUOTE="robwbright, post: 1205026, member: 60515"] I haven't been on much recently, and I haven't gotten around to reading all the posts for the last week in this thread. As to the last post, there is such a thing as equal protection under the law. A strict interpretation of such would require equal punishment for two people committing the same crime - regardless of how much money either of them makes. As you would imagine, I think speed laws should be like Montana and Germany - and people punished (monetarily or with jail time) for actually CAUSING property or personal damage. Regardless, I think you guys will find this interesting - the wife of Paris Hilton's prosecutor has a driving record SIMILAR to Paris' and she's apparently not doing jail time. Hmm . . . [url]http://www.lewrockwell.com/anderson/anderson191.html[/url] "[B]City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo got Paris Hilton jailed for violating probation for driving with a suspended license, then condemned her early release. Now, he says he's embarrassed about the outstanding bench warrant for his wife, Michelle, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.[/B] Rocky Delgadillo [U]said he didn't know about it until this week [/U] and has urged his wife to remedy the situation. "My wife is embarrassed about this, and I am embarrassed as well," he said. The couple also has been chronically late in paying fines for at least five parking tickets in the last three years, the newspaper reported. One violation for parking in a red zone in December 2006 was not paid until the newspaper inquired about the tickets last month, by which time the $70 infraction had become a $174 fine with penalties. However, as they say on late-night TV, "Wait, there’s more!" On Monday, [B]Delgadillo apologized for keeping quiet about a 2004 accident in which his wife crashed his city-issued vehicle while [U]driving on a suspended license[/U]. Delgadillo said he was reimbursing the city for the $1,222 repair.[/B] The prosecutor has said Michelle Delgadillo's offenses are not comparable to those of Hilton, who is serving a 45-day sentence for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. In the latest disclosure, Michelle Delgadillo said she was "very embarrassed" and was working to resolve the arrest warrant issue as soon as possible. "I will do whatever the court instructs me to do. I apologize for any embarrassment this has caused my husband and family," she said in a statement to the newspaper. One can be sure that Ms. Delgadillo is not going to have to worry about spending several weeks in a cell or having to be humiliated in front of a judge. After all, she is not Paris Hilton, and in this land of Two Americas, anyone who might have been born with a silver or even gold spoon by definition is an Enemy of the People. Thus, even though it is clear that Hilton’s blue Bentley was targeted by police and that she was treated much more harshly than is the situation with most people, anything less than having her hanged, drawn, and quartered for driving without a driver’s license is not good enough."
