Paris 45 Days in the Clink?

Paris Hilton is in big trouble, if the Los Angeles City Attorney has his way. TMZ has obtained documents filed with the court, in which prosecutors say they want Hilton to spend 45 days in jail.

Paris must appear tomorrow on a probation violation, for allegedly driving on a suspended license. Hilton was already on probation after pleading no contest last January to alcohol-related reckless driving. The DMV had suspended Hilton's license as a result of her DUI bust.

While her license was suspended, Hilton was stopped by the CHP last January 15, and again by the L.A. County Sheriffs on February 27.

The City Attorney will argue that Hilton certainly knew after she was stopped in January that she wasn't allowed to drive, so the second stop was a flagrant violation of law.

The documents suggest Hilton mistakenly relied on her lawyer's assumption that Hilton had a right to drive, but the City Attorney claims in the legal papers that it's a bogus argument.

According to the papers, Hilton also failed to enroll in an alcohol education program within 21 days of the order directing her to do so.

The legal papers ask that "Hilton be ordered to serve 45 days in County Jail." Prosecutors also want her to be ordered "not to consume any alcohol for a continuous period of 90 days." During that 90-day period, prosecutors want her "to be monitored for alcohol consumption ... by use of a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM) device at her expense."

The City Attorney wants more. Because of her "flagrant" driving violations, they want her license suspended for an additional four months -- and they want her car impounded for 30 days.

226. So, because you people are jealous of her lifestyle and your own pathetic lives you believe she should get a worse sentence than anyone else would get? I worked in the Los Angeles court system for 9 years and NOBODY gets jail time for driving under a suspended license resulting from from DUI probation unless there is an accident or bodily injury. Also, Ca lowered the blood alcohol limit to .08 which all the evidence shows makes no one safer, but it sure makes the court system a lot of money arresting poor Joe Blow that has 2 beers on in Paris Hilton's case, 1 margarita.

Hey, I hate attention whores just as much as the next guy, but I love the law and this is simply wrong. She is getting different treatment because of who she is, it's just in this case it's WORSE TREATMENT than anyone else would get.

Let's see, LA courts screwed up OJ, Robert Blake, Phil Spector hasn't spent an hour in jail, but god dammit we are going to get it right this time and get Paris!! If you don't see what's wrong with that you don't deserve the rights you have as an American.

In America we don't jail people just because the mob wants them jailed. We are a nation of law. The judge in this case promised his congregation he was going to lay down the law on this girl and when he did he got a standing ovation in his church.

You know what? You have the right in America to be a party girl and it seems to my unbiased mind that's exactly what she is being punished for. We are a sick society where people care so much about celebrity that they watched her show (I never saw and episode myself) and "loved to hate Paris" and now the same people want to see her suffer just because it will make them feel better about their own lives.

Paris may be sick, but the rest of you are a lot sicker.
