PARIS HILTON PLEADS GUILTY TO COCAINE POSSESSION – CALIFORNIA HEALTH & SAFETY CODE SECTION 11350, PENAL CODE SECTION 148(A)(1)
On September 20, 2010, Paris Hilton pled guilty to possessing cocaine and for lying to a police officer about it.
Hilton was arrested after a small bag containing the cocaine fell out of her purse in the presence of a police officer. She told the officer that the cocaine did not belong to her.
Hilton was charged with felony possession of cocaine, but by admitting possession, she was allowed to plead to a lesser possession charge. According to the terms of her plea, she must serve a year of probation, complete a drug program, pay a $2,000 fine, and complete 200 hours of community service.
In California, under Penal Code section 11350(a), cocaine possession is a felony. However, a person convicted of drug possession may be eligible for an alternate to imprisonment under Penal Code section 1000 or Proposition 36. Talk to an experienced Southern California criminal defense attorney to discuss your legal options.
Lying to a police officer is a violation of Penal Code section 148(a)(1), which punishes “[e]very person who willfully. . .obstructs any…peace officer…in the discharge or attempt to discharge any duty of his or her employment.” Obstructing a police officer is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail, up to a $1,000 fine, or both the imprisonment and the fine.

Cannabis should be legalized by now. Marijuana has few harmful effects and many benefits, especially for medicinal uses. Many other legal drugs are far more dangerous. People really need to watch documentaries to get better educated about topics like this.

I found your site from wikipedia and read a few of your other blog posts.They are cool. Pls continue this great work. Later on other fantastic American rock acts such as Lynrd Skynrd, The Eagles, America, the Allman Brothers, and the Doobie Brothers would come on the scene and shake up the world with their string of hit songs.

Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
