It’s not just a question of celebrities getting special treatment; it’s that some probably expect it.
Her smile got her a multi-million dollar deal to be the face of Revlon make up. But Jessica Alba also found it pretty useful when facing a speeding ticket too. When the 29-year-old actress rolled down her window flashing a big smile, the officer realised who it was he had pulled over and the Open Water star was free to carry on after a friendly chat.
Maybe it’s the cynic in me, but I wouldn’t at all be surprised if Jessica said she was sorry… and as she was sent on her way, laughed her ass off.
From my understanding, Hollywood actors and actresses can turn down parts that are not in keeping with their beliefs… IF they are not in keeping with their beliefs: http://www.black-and-right.com/2010/05/15/open-thread-saturday-17/
Before we diss on the young lady too much, might I post this quote (that got her a LOT of crap from the La Raza crowd back in 2007):
“Alba is my last name and I’m proud of that. But that’s it. My grandparents were born in California, the same as my parents, and though I may be proud of my last name, I’m American. Throughout my whole life, I’ve never felt connected to one particular race or heritage, nor did I feel accepted by any. If you break it down, I’m less Latina than Cameron Diaz, whose father is Cuban. But people don’t call her Latina because she’s blonde…
My grandfather was the only Mexican at his college, the only Hispanic person at work and the only one at the all-white country club. He tried to forget his Mexican roots, because he never wanted his kids to be made to feel different in America. He and my grandmother didn’t speak Spanish to their children. Now, as a third-generation American, I feel as if I have finally cut loose.
My whole life, when I was growing up, not one race has ever accepted me, … So I never felt connected or attached to any race specifically. I had a very American upbringing, I feel American, and I don’t speak Spanish. So, to say that I’m a Latin actress, OK, but it’s not fitting; it would be insincere.”

It wasn’t her celebrity status that got her out of that ticket. She’s just HOT! Stooopid, but HOT!
She’s lucky I wasn’t the cop. I wouldn’t have know who the hell she was. And, still don’t…never heard of her.
She may be pretty as hell (which she is), but she’s also just another bubble-headed, anti-American, Obama-drooling, Socialist-loving (except with HER money), pro-illegal invader Hollywood bimbo…
“Jessica Alba charms her way out of a possible speeding ticket from a Beverly Hills cop”
I won’t pass judgement on the lady nor the cop because I don’t even know why he pulled her over in the first place.
In my day, I let a lot of people off the hook.
That is the way of good police work, it is not good to act like a ticket-nazi out there.
re: 8 percent of U.S. newborns have undocumented parents
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that those children automatically become U.S. citizens
No, it does not.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States
The offspring of illegal aliens are subject to the jurisdiction of their parents, who are subject to the jurisdiction of their nation of legal residence. If this is not true, then there are a lot of premeditated murder trials that must be held for everyone who ever participated in the destruction of emergent human life.
This may very well signal the beginning of a trial, to hold in contempt of humanity, the greatest act of mass murder, and conspiracy to commit mass murder, in history! I think Hitler, Mao, Stalin, et al, would be jealous of the freaks who inhabit our land.
So, can the people who support the destruction of emergent human life have their cake and eat it too?
And she’s driving an SUV. Is the AGW/AGCC slush fund truly and finally dead, or is it still applicable to the people who are coerced to be “equal”?
Also, does Alba realize that her money could be better spent to support the hundreds of thousands illegal alien offspring in this country?
Report: 8 percent of U.S. newborns have undocumented parents
Does she realize that 10% of Americans are unemployed, many more who aren’t even registered, and many, many more who are receiving welfare? Does she believe that it is appropriate to support the illegal alien invasion while there are Americans who are unemployed and receiving taxpayer money? At least she had a choice to exceed the speed limit.
I think I just answered my own question. She doesn’t believe in the equal application of law, and she does support progressive involuntary exploitation, just not her own. She doesn’t even support voluntary exploitation when a smile will do.
Jessica Alba Has Her Hands Full Balancing Work and Play
She reminds me of another European globe-trotting elite.
laughed her ass off
I wouldn’t put it past her. She has demonstrated her contempt for America and her citizens. I will guess that she will remain here just long enough to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
The big smile she is flashing is visible to the photographer.
Who knows what else she may have been flashing to the officer.
I agree, Bob
