With all the hoopla over heiress and Hollywood paparazzi magnet Paris Hilton slated to being doing "hard time" for 45 days because of her probation violation come June 5th in a LA county lockup in Lynwood, we wondered just how "equal", equal justice was when it came to throwing the book at drivers who are taking to the streets of Los Angeles without a driver’s license.
We found the perfect comparison, someone Paris Hilton might know, a celebrity paparazzo that takes her picture all the time on the streets of Los Angeles.
Meet RAMON LEROY KIRK, AKA "TWIST", well-known celebrity paparazzo for paparazzi photo agency X-17 here in Los Angeles. Kirk as it happens is what anybody might call a "habitual" offender when it comes to driving without a valid driver’s license.
Starting in 1993 Kirk has been cited for driving on a suspended California driver’s license at least 9 times based on records obtained exclusively by ERS News.
Just to make it simple we’ll just get you up to speed on his most recent cases, which begin in 2004.

This story fails to mention that Paris was also charged with DUI.
DUI is a bit more serious than simply driving on a suspended license.
I dont advoctae anyone drive with a suspended license,. In fact if it were up to me when you catch someone with a suspended license the car should be confiscated and sold at public auction.
Not only that, but Paris Hilton displayed a significant amount of disrespect for "the system." The cops only pulled her over for driving with a suspended license because she had been driving drunk again. She also showed up to court late (judges hate that). She also claimed that she did not know her license had been suspended, even though she had paperwork in the car that stated that it was.
You'd think she'd have done the smart thing and hire herself a driver for the duration of her suspension... it is not like she doesn't have the money to do that.
I've heard of cases where judges go easy on defendants... even in serious cases... until the defendant pisses the judge off personally. Paris' brazen contempt for the rule of law is what landed her in jail, above all else.
I would have also thought she would have hired a smart attorney who would have told her to be in court on time.
She screwed up. Violated the law. Screwed up again in front of the judge.
Why won’t her “fans” recognize even blonde bimbo’s with lots of money need to go to jail? Is there a different scale of jusctice for blondes who don’t wear underwear?

There are different rules in Hollywood and elsewhere for celebrities.
Any person who is a fan of this scumbag ,no talent, no brain, rich eccentric are as dumb as she is.
I expect the jail sentence to be replaced by probation.
Wrong..the story DOES cover her DUI..factually..It’s a pretty fair piece, on balance..
I think I heard on FNC, that after sentencing, Paris' mother yelled out to the judge: "Can I have you autograph?"
LOL
It's sad, but I think the Hilton parents will be perfectly happy with the courts doing what they were unable to do; discipline their child.
She didn’t mean it in a nice way. She was being condescending. She’s as arrogant as her daughter. I’m just sorry the judge didn’t grant her wish by finding her in contempt of court.
I was under the impression that she was perfectly happy with the sentence.
