Or might it just have something to do with the vicious attacks heaped on Mel for making a faithful movie about Christ that bucked the system. Southern Cal is owned by the media and the fact that everyone including the cop is assuming that his career is "ruined" means that some sense this as "payback".

That's ridiculous.

Gibson was driving 30 mph over the speed limit and had an open bottle of tequila in his car.

In addition, Gibson admitted he did everything he's accused of!

"Gibson was driving 30 mph over the speed limit and had an open bottle of tequila in his car."

"In addition, Gibson admitted he did everything he's accused of!"

Was the bottle open? And Gibson certainly is doing all sorts of damage control - after all the arresting officer has already pronounced his career "ruined" which seems curious given the fact that there was no injury or damage.
