A camera trained on the 134 Freeway in Burbank recorded Nicole Richie's DUI arrest early Monday morning.

ABC Television has offices near the exit ramp which Richie used to enter the freeway going the wrong way. ABC security guards noticed the commotion on their monitors and trained their security camera in that direction.

The pictures show Richie talking to CHP officers. We're told she admitted that she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot.

Richie's attorney, Howard Weitzman, exclusively tells TMZ "This is a difficult time for Nicole but she is prepared to accept whatever responsibility is appropriate. She intends to continue with her career and will deal with any other issues that need to be addressed."

17. to #1her arrest had nothing to do with her being black..it was dark, she looks white anyways, and the was driving the wrong direction of the freeway. i personally thought she got special treatment. she admitted to abusing drugs for christsake. thats why she is so skinny. when she was on heroin she was skinny too, then she stopped and gained all that weight..now she is back on drugs, and voila skinny again....all that bullsh*t she says about not knowing why she can' t put on weight or hiring a team of specialist is just for show. we know the drugs is the reason why she can't put on weight.

18. This chick is NOT black. She's adopted by black people, but she herself is not black.

20. Thank you Kathryn! Whew.. I thought I was seeing things. EVERYBODY... EVERYONE... PLEASE... just thank god she didn't kill anyone. We can hope this is the final line drawn toward anyone deciding to get behind the wheel while under the influence of who knows what these days... and who cares if you are red, white, black or blue. It's the public's safety that always matters especially little children.

21. Kathryn, Nicole Ritchie, is of mixed heritage but one thing she isn't is WHITE... There are black people/purto rican/hispanic/latin persons of different shades. Some people have very light skin, others very dark, and others have medium complexions... Yes she was adopted by a black couple but Nicole does have black dna, sorry boo.

23. I'm soooo happy she wants to move forward with her career! What Career? Famous because Daddy is famous? I've seen a box of hair that was more talented and more interesting to look at!

24. Tootz,

Why are you saying "THANK YOU KATHERINE"?

Nicole Ritchie's parents I believe are Cuban/black/Latin etc. She is not white but very light skinned. So if you don't care about what race she is, why are you THANKING someone for pointing out that she is of the white persuasion...?@$#

25. Just google her about her heritage.

27. The Truth, I happen to agree with you... WTF, there are hidden cameras everywhere and we "AMERICAN CITIZENS" are being phtographed and recorded without our knowledge and/or consent, I'm like "SO" scared and freaked out about this... What is America coming too...Big brother is everywhere...

28. PS Had to add to #11. I thought Nicole was mixed. Certainly, that morning, a mixture of stuff that messes you up completely to where you drive up the wrong street. THANK GOD there were no fatalities here. Then Nicole would have had to go through some mega-serious counseling not the type of counseling she currently needs to get over this. It is so easy to catch a cab or hitch a ride. I'd rather slum that way than blindly try to drive my sportscar home.

29. Maybe she'll get lucky and get the same judge Courtney Love got...before you know it....everything will be behind her and she can move on...think she called Mel?
