A .08 is a .08 no matter how you look at it -- so Stephanie Pratt was formally charged with suspicion of DUI today after her arrest two Sundays ago in Hollywood.
As we first reported, Pratt was pulled over at 3:45 AM on October 18 after leaving Holly Montag's birthday party.
Pratt's two breathalyzer tests registered .08 and .09 -- the legal limit is .08 -- so she was arrested and held on $5,000 bail.
If convicted, Pratt could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

I guess I didn't have a lot of respect for this girl anyway, but this makes me really mad. The limit is the limit. I do not appreciate my family and friends and myself being put in danger because this selfish girl felt that she could drink and drive.

DUI is something I would never do after seeing the results from some friends of mine. It is easeir and cheaper to break you hip and you get over it faster than a DUI.

Maybe she was driving to see her next John. I'm sure she makes at least $5.00 for each sex appointment.

Hollier-than-thou a-holes! This chick would be .08 after 2 drinks at her body weight. Time to end the revenue stream DUIs have become; they don't care about saving lives only revenue.

SINCE TMZ MENTIONED DUI'S.....Did you know that a 7 time DUI Offender was released with no restrictions.....DEMAND THE DISBARMENT OF THE RELEASOR.....Contact the Il Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commisson and demand the disbarment of the RELEASOR...St. Clair County Illinois States Attorney Robert Haida....THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IN FAILING TO PROPERLY PROSECUTE REPEATED DUI OFFENDERS WILL LEAD TO A DUI DEATH OR TRAGEDY......Disbar......Disbar......Let him become a Burger King Supervisor instead of a DUI Prosecutor.....Extra Pickles Biotch.

DUI should mean an automatic 5 years in prison. No excuses. None. Not enough prison space available for drunks? Well, there are private companies that manage prisons. Build "drunks only" prisons. See ya in 5 years, Pratt.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS:
I don't care if the police intentionally targeted her. IT DOESN'T MATTER! They didn't FORCE her to drink. The 0.8 CA law is COMMON KNOWLEDGE! The police are in the business of generating revenue...so EXPECT to be targeted and do us a favor and either take a taxi, get a driver or buy your own breathalyser to ensure you are UNDER THE LEGAL LIMIT....PERIOD!
.08 IS THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!! What does the fact that the police allegedly targeted you have to do with the fact that you BLEW a .8 or .9?????????????????
For all you sorry ass wanna be Hollywood Stars, GET A FREAKIN CLUE....
STOP DRINKING AND DRIVING.......PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE CAUGHT!

We need fewer people in jail and more people in treatment. Yeh lets throw all the people paying taxes in jail and really shove the pole up our butt. I think people need to wake up and smell the coffee. Citizens are better outside of jail paying taxes and going through treatment than sending them to jail which leads to no hope.. without hope nobody gives a crap. Lets stop supplying the gangs and organized crime outfits with a supply of hopeless individuals in jail. Sure violent offenders should go in jail there is no question. Its amazing to hear what people say that have no degree in a science field. Hey if you dont understand the finer pts then you need to shut the hell up and listen to people that actually have practical classroom and laboratory knowledge.

The constitution prohibits the police from targeting or setting up any citizen and in fact if they do it they are comitting a very serious crime.
Sitinng outside a bar and following and busting patrons as they leave is illegal.
In Los Angeles the D.A. and his band of morons have created a climate of star hunting and they are encouraged by the judges. It is their publicity tool since they are all elected.
She will probably be allowed to plea to reckless driving with alcohol involovement. That means that she gets to pay their cousin for his worthless course about alcohol.
