Paris Hilton, ProfileVictim?
By encinoman
Are the Los Angeles police and sheriffs targeting Paris Hilton? She says they are, and although no one in the howling, self-righteous mob wants to hear it, she could be right.
It wouldn&;t be the first time a high profile celebrity has been targeted by the police. Snoop may be riding dirty but it seems like he can&;t leave his house now without being arrested.
With Paris, it&;s not racial profiling, but celebrity profiling.
1. Paris Hilton chooses to drive a very high profile car. Driving on Sunset Boulevard last month, a baby blue Bentley pulled up next to me. I didn&;t even need to look at the blond hair and big sunglasses to confirm it was Paris; it was like her car had a huge &;It&;s Me!&; sign on it.
2. Paris Hilton is a mega-celebrity, and her every minute is watched. In this, the police are no different than the paparazzi and the public.
3. Much of Paris&;s appeal is sexual, particularly to men. When Paris says &;The police pull me over to hit on me,&; she&;s probably telling the truth.
