You CAN do anything you like provided you do not get caught.
Hadn't you heard that there was several dual systems of justice in this country?
If a teacher sexually molests a child in school, and if the teacher is a beautiful woman, the courts assume that the child was seduced by her beauty, and let her off with slap on wrist. If the teacher is ugly, the courts assume no one wants to see that ugly mug, so lock it up for 20 years.
When a person is arrested for drunk driving, makes all sorts of anti-semitic remarks to the police, that person is let off with a slap on the wrist, because the nation wants to see the next great movie they produce.

Most states treat DUI (driving under the influence) as misdemeanors for the first couple of offenses. If the person continues to drive illegally, then the charges are treated as felonies.
She will loose her license for a few months, but that seldom works at correcting the problems involved.
In other words, Lohan is going to get serious jail time soon if she doesn't shape up.
If you don't like the fact that drunk drivers are treated lightly, complain to your representatives in the state capitol.

Well, it's because Lindsey was so cute and innocent when she was a kid. Oh, we just loved her. Now she's in the same boat as Britney and Paris, but she was Herbie's best friend dang it!!!! I bet he's the one that made her go down the wrong path.
But, all kidding aside, it's not cause she's rich. If that was the only reason, Vick and Paris wouldn't have been in so much hot water.

I would recommend a review of the charging documents and any plea bargains. She is not the only one that can cut a deal. If you have a good lawyer, things go your way. You have to be able to afford that good lawyer.

Because she's rich and she pays everybody involved with her arrest and imprisonment very large sums of money.

Because we normal citizens have more time than money...
