Paris Hilton has been sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation.

It's about time Paris learns that she has to follow the rules, too. Let's take a look at her recent driving record:
- Sept. 7th, 2006 - Hilton is arrested for DUI. She pleads no contest to reckless driving, her license is suspended, and she receives receives 36 months probation.
- Jan. 15th, 2007 - Hilton is pulled over by California Highway Patrol. Officers inform her that she is driving on a suspended license. She she signs a document acknowledging that she was not to drive, according to papers filed in Superior Court. (Maybe California is different, but in the states I've lived in, this is a serious misdemeanor driving offense that can result in jailtime in and of itself)
- Feb. 27th, 2007 - L.A. County sheriff’s deputies stop Paris and charge her with violating her probation. The authorities say they saw her car speeding with its headlights off. While Hilton's lawyer says she wasn't aware her license was suspended, a copy of the document Hilton signed on Jan. 15 is found in the car’s glove compartment, court papers say.
Her casual disregard for the law makes me very angry. I'm glad the judge stuck it to her.

As a city prosecutor said during closing arguments that Hilton deserved jail time, Hilton’s mother, Kathy, laughed. When the judge ruled, Kathy Hilton, then blurted out: “May I have your autograph?”

Apparently her mother feels Paris is above the law as well.
