Lindsay is Above The Law



According to, um, everyone who got around to this before I did, Lindsay was booked for her May DUI yesterday afternoon:

In one of the most under the radar moves she's ever made, Lindsay Lohan quietly walked into the Beverly Hills PD station late Thursday afternoon to be officially arrested for her May DUI.

According to the official Los Angeles Sheriff's Department website, Lohan was held in custody for about an hour around 4:00 PM, until she was released on $30,000 bail.


All of this is supposed to be routine for a first time DUI, but c'mon...don't these people watch the news? Or read my blog, for that matter? This is Lindsay Lohan. This is the girl who left rehab and taped a cassette player to her ankle giggling "hehehe, now they'll never suspect me." Her own recognizance? The only plan worse than this would be to release her into the custody of Britney Spears. And what's with celebrities just waltzing into the police station months after their offenses instead of being cuffed and thrown in the paddy wagon like the rest of the underage drinking world? DUI aside, let's pretend THAT didn't even happen, let's go with just the underage portion: when I was in college and our local bar was raided (often) anyone with a fake ID or no ID was thrown in a cramped van and booked on site. There was no "Yea...we're gonna have to ask you to, um, come on down to the station...you know, when you have a chance. This year would be okay, but if not, you know...I mean it'd be great if you could." Is Lumberg running things? Fuck.
