Paris gets Probation for her DUI

Paris had issued a not guilty plea to the DUI charge through her representative at an earlier court proceeding. Now her lawyers have plea bargained down to reckless driving with a no contest plea.

She will be on probation for 36 months and during that time there will be zero tolerance for driving with alcohol in her system. She also has to attend some classes and pay a total of about $1500 in fines and court costs.

It sounds fair to me. Even though she has had issues with reckless driving in the past, the judge couldn't consider most of them because the police always let her go with a warning, possibly even without a warning. She has been known to effuse about how much she loves the police immediately after they let her go. I don't know if there were any quotes about the way she felt about the officers who actually arrested her last year. I don't think they got any love.

Oh, and I don't really think it is fair that she gets to be absent for all of these court dates.
