In a Libertarian America, this would be between her and her insurance company. If they wanted to indemnify anyone she injures, that would be up to them. I bet that they would be able to “communicate” with her better than the “law” does.
But even in today’s America, possession of narcotics isn’t a crime. You own your body. (And, if you don’t who does?) And, what you put into it is your business. Not mine.
OTOH — DUI, as evidenced by a accident, is threatening harm on others. As such, even to this old little L Libertarian, there has to be restitution and some punitive action to dissuade her from such an initiation of force in the future.
The celebrity community and the media that adores it need to exercise a little “union discipline”. Perhaps an embargo on any stories about a celebrity would be a good place to start. Say a 90 day embargo as agreed by all the media for a first offense. 180 for second; 360 for third. That could be a career killer. These folks need the PR for their Q rating and the big bucks.
OK, I’ll start here. I sentence LL to a 90 day embargo here at my blog. LL will not be mentioned for ninety days. That’ll show her that the media is a force to be reckoned with. ;-)
