Another day, another Amanda "Fender Bender" Bynes traffic related offense. I was confused about this latest offense -- hitting a car, assessing the damage, and leaving the scene without sharing her information (which is against California law) -- because little Ms. Bynes was charged with a DUI recently stemming from an April incident when she sideswiped a cop car (that's a classy move right there) and attempted to flee the scene ... so ... why isn't her license suspended? Especially since, after she was arrested, she Tweeted: "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don't hit and run. The end."
You don't drink? That's rich. You don't drink and Mitt Romney is a standup comedian. What planet do you live on?
I understand jail overcrowding but what about having her license suspended ... revoked ... you know, get her drunk ass off the road because she obviously doesn't belong there. Well ... we don't actually know if her poison starts and ends with alcohol because she refused a chemical test at the time of her arrest. Uppers, downers, ludes, angel dust, Mary Jane ... who knows.
What's the deal pickles? While confused over this latest offense, I'm even more confused when trying to figure out how many hit-and-runs Bynes committed.
According to TMZ, in the past six months she was arrested for DUI and accused of three hit-and-runs. Three! In addition, cops are accusing her of skipping out on them in March when they attempted to write her a ticket for talking on the phone while driving. Why didn't cops pursue her, you ask? Well, they felt she wasn't dangerous ... and she politely went to the police station later that day to sign the ticket. How nice of her. That would totally happen to a non-celebrity! Not.
So, why oh why does she still have her license? Why isn't she facing a mountain of fines and court-mandated rehab? What about a breathalyzer installed in her car? You know, things normal everyday people would face after having committed these acts! California could end the debt crisis!
Are celebrities above the law? Maybe not in terms of murder or drug trafficking, but DUI can lead to vehicular manslaughter so isn't that reason enough to make Amanda Bynes pay!?
Sept. 15, 2012 Update: Bynes was pulled over today and had her car impounded because she was driving on a suspended license. She was also pulled over Sept. 9 but let go with a warning.
