fraser yer easly wound up & so keen to go of topic !

(they biting quick today ! )

Well my ex has been done for drink driving 3 times and also done for driving without a license. 3 month loss of license first 2 times. 6 months for driving while suspended and 6 months just 2 months. There was never any though from the judge that she would go to jail for DD. I guess she can be lucky she lives in OZ rather than USA, or that she isnt Paris Hilton.

nice , i like it

Why? DUI is a serious offence, especially when it's not the first time.

If she'd been in the UK, she would have received a 6 month sentence. If she'd been in France, she would have received anything from 2 months to 2 years.

Under Californian law, even a first-time offender can be jailed for up to 6 months. Paris has been caught driving under the influence on two previous occasions, and was photographed driving her car two days after the trial.

But her sentence? A paltry 45 days, reduced to 23 - then commuted to "house arrest" after only one day. If that's not special treatment, I don't know what is.

Now someone has sensibly decided to kick her back in the can, where she belongs - to serve the full term of her 45 days.

End of.

Not so bad. Had a fine time in Istanbul, came home with the worst dose of the flu that I've had in years, and took 10 days to recover.

Next year - Gallipoli!

and rightly so

you can say that again

and , nah i can't do it , anyway the ship canne take it captain she's at full power

Yeah mate, saw them on the Turk thread, nice.

Glad ya had a good time, Gallipoli should be fun, when I was in Greece living we went for a trip, quite an odd place, almost nothing to write home about if you know what I mean.

who's Paris Hilton ???

I dont agree. Whilst the law says that an offender MAY be jailed for up to 6 months, consider how many actually are in that state for the same offence.

My point is that in this case Justice is not blind and rather has been completely over the top when compared with any others in that state in the same circumstances.

That makes the original intent of the prosecution, namely to ensure that justice is done fairly and with equality, a joke. Paris Hiltons case, howeverly properly prosecuted, has done nothing except show how public opinion and/or media hatred can sway a legal system.

1 law for us and another for them ? You better believe it, "they" get the raw deal it seems.

Lock the skinny cow up and throw the key away.

How many?

And she only got 23 days anyway. I don't think a fine was really an option, as it wouldn't make a dent in her pocket, and a driving ban clearly didn't make much of an impact either. So what choice did the judge have? She has no excuses whatsoever, it's not as if she couldn't afford a taxi or a hotel room.

Fraser mate....
I wouldn't normally say this about you but this time you're way off the mark.

She was done and banned the first time.
She was then caught driving again with the original ban notice in the glove box. Result... 15 months probation & don't drive.
She drove & got caught again.
Jail....

What's to question?
She obviously thought that because she was famous, (and for what, I don't think anyone really knows!) she could ignore the law time after time with no consequences!
The judge quite rightly thought otherwise.
