You may or might not have read this story: Eddie Griffin To get to the base of the story I'll cap it off for you.
1) He was driving drunk.
2) He was watching a porn WHILE driving.
3) He was masturbating WHILE driving.
4) He crashed his SUV into a PARKED car.
5) He wasn't tested for alcohol when the police arrived.
6) The police took him to his residence outside of their jurisdiction so he could sober up.
Now here's what would happen if I were the one behind the wheel.
1) I drove drunk.
2) I watched porn while driving.
3) I masturbated while driving.
4) I crashed into a parked car.
5) The police test me for alcohol.
6) Instead of getting a ride home, I go to jail.
7) I am charged with a slew of offences including Driving While Intoxicated.
So what's the deal here... are high profiles (I'm going to include all sports, music, acting figures since it would pretty much be the same for them) above the law and beyond the reach of justice? Apparently so.
