In case ya'all didn't hear, Paris Hilton got busted YET again this year for drug possession, this time for having cocaine in her purse in Las Vegas. You may remember Hilton from such events as 'I didn't realize international travel with marijuana for the World Cup was a profoundly bad idea'.
Granted, getting busted with coke in Las Vegas is like being found with a chocolate bar in your mouth at the Willy Wonka factory.
Hilton, who was busted Friday after she and a friend were stopped for a traffic citation, first claimed the coke in her purse wasn't hers because not only would she never, ever do such a thing, but it's not even her purse. When everyone laughed at this standard COPS crackhead response, she then tried to argue that the search was unwarranted. Oh, silly girl! Don't you know that search-and-seizure rights were revoked after September 11th and never properly reinstated? What, nobody knows that? But we all know about Tiger Woods, right? So the news is focusing on the right stuff.
The Vegas police are saying they had every right to search the car because it smelled like pot, and that hippie herb might be legal in California, but the only thing legal in Vegas is prostitution, gambling, and virtually everything else. No dangerous marijuana!
Hilton's attorney says everything is a big misunderstanding and she'll be exonerated. Victory for Paris! Free Paris! Meh, she can deal. She handled prison with a lot more elegance than Lindsay Lohan.
Comments
Might want to research before you write. Prostitution is not legal in Clark County and there are medical marijuana id cards just like California here, though somewhat more difficult to get. Prostitution is legal in Nevada but illegal in certain counties like.. where Las Vegas is.
