When Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving last year, he caused outrage with the anti-semitic comments he spat at the arresting officers. Now those same officers have been disciplined because they gave Gibson treatment that could be viewed as 'preferential.'

Well, it certainly seems that his treatment wasn't kosher! He wasn't palm printed, he didn't sign a statement, and an officer took Gibson to the pound to collect his car.

The moral of the story: if you're charged with DUI and want the cops to go easy on you, treat them to a screaming anti-semitic tirade. Beware, however, 'cos if your name's Paris it just ain't gonna work.
