The Sheriff violated a clear, direct and unambiguous court order. He is in contempt of court, plain and simple. This is not even a close close.

Paris' jail sentence has a significant and important deterrent effect. First, other pseudo celebrities, starlets and air heads have heard the message loud and clear: fight the law and the law will win. If you lived here in So. Cal., and especially in certai ares of So. Cal. you have to deal with loud, obnoxious celebs and near-celebs who think they own the world. go to any restaurant in Malibu and you see these jackasses acting like they own the cops, like the own you and me and like the own the world. Seeing one of their kind being dragged away, crying "mommy!!!" should have some sort of deterrent effect.

Second, Paris jail sentence will have (I hope) a deterrent effect on other criminals. Right about now they should be thingking: "If it could happen to Paris, it could happen to me." Her early release just had the oposite effect.
I don't understand, Ernesto, why people can't come to terms with the fact that the Sheriff of LA appears to have an agenda of his own here. You have stated it chapter, verse, line and page. How much clearer does it need to be stated??

He is another elected Politician, with a personal axe to grind, and it's pretty obvious he doesn't want to offend the rich and famous.

This time he went over the edge, and the Judge contmplated holding him in contempt.

This kind of thing is not unique to Los Angeles County either. San Francisco had an over the top and wacky Sheriff like this who actually, ultimately, DID go to jail for contempt.

ANY ongoing mal - administration of the LASD office is an issue that really needs to be addressed, though it's not as "sexy" an item for the media as Paris Hilton, in terms of flogging newspapers.

This is the real rock that needs to be overturned.
