Paris Hilton managed to get busted in SoCal this week for illegally driving her car in a bike lane. As far as I know, she did not accidentally hit any bikers with her vehicle but who knows what would’ve happened had the police officer pull her over. Meh, it happens to everyone, I’m sure … but it’s kinda funny when stuff like this happens to Paris Hilton:
Paris Hilton had a lucky escape from the law yesterday after she accidentally drove in a bicycle lane. The hotel heiress, 29, was spotted veering her GMC Yukon Hybrid into the cyclists’ lane on her way back from a shopping trip in Hollywood. After being stopped by police, Hilton was given a stern talking to by an officer, who then let her continue her journey with a warning. Seated at the wheel of her 2008 4X4, Hilton obediently showed the officer her driving license. Hilton was on her way back home after splashing out several thousand dollars in the Apple store on Melrose Avenue. During her retail excursion, she updated her Twitter page: ‘Just got some new computers and electronic gadgets at The Melrose Mac Store. I am such a tech nerd ;) I can’t help it! Technology Rocks! :)’
What I don’t understand is why the cops continue to let celebs off with warnings like this. I find it very hard to believe that Paris Hilton would really learn a lesson from a “stern-talking to” but, then again, I doubt a $70 ticket would have any greater effect. I guess the lesson here is if you encounter Paris Hilton behind the wheel of a car … run for your life in the other direction! Oh and steer clear of the bike lane … cuz Paris sure can’t! OY!

“But lyke, officer, I’m Paris Hilton.”
Sadly, a lot of rich people get off the hook around here in the North. Maybe it’s power and money.
i love that the cop is approaching her vehicle with his hand on his gun. (that said, it is true that the most dangerous situation a police officer can be in is a traffice stop)
“What I don’t understand is why the cops continue to let celebs off with warnings like this”….Yeah, like Naomi Campbell! Does that women have to kill someone to get put in jail? She has assaulted 7 people!
Normally i’m with you. But this is just a person accidentally going into a bicycle lane. If they don’t have a bunch of traffic tickets and they are respectful, a lot of cops would let them off with a warning.
How pathetic … clearly your cops have nothing better to do. Let’s blame the ‘it’ girls for everything and make examples of them. YAWN.
@Kelly — LOL! What do you mean? Celebs, especially “Hollywood It Girls” never get blamed for anything and are never made examples of. Did you miss the part about how Paris didn’t get punished at all for this infraction?
Absolutely maddening! Who doesn’t know you shouldn’t drive in the bike lane? She’s just as capable of killing someone as the rest of us normal, average, everyday people!
IF WE CAN ONLY HAVE HER GET PUT AWAY
ONE LESS AIRHEAD TO WORRY ABOUT
With all the illegal imagrants , Gangs, Drug lords, and everything else that California has to deal with, one would think this rookie cop has nothing better to do than pull his gun on a simple trafic infraction, great police work, shoot the cute blond for her car swerving. Ha Ha !
I bet you could sell her an Apple II plus
i don’t know. this brings to mind the scene from Clueless when Cher is taking her driver’s ed test and almost runs over that biker. made me lol!!!!
oh and Barry, you’re an idiot.
What a waste of a person who could do such good for people who need help …And she gets off, you know if it were one of us driving in our ford escort we would be addressed as criminals
