And any time the police are involved, the matter becomes public record so this isn't really an invasion of privacy. Of course it wouldn't be on the news if any regular kid got an MIP but that's just reality - if your dad's the president you are in the public eye. And none of us got to choose our parents or our lifestyles (not entirely anyway) so I don't really see that as being a valid argument for why they should be left alone. Just my opinion.

So if your father was president and you got a ticket for something stupid like JayWalking. How would you feel about being National News for the next couple of weeks? I am not saying that what they did wasn't wrong because according to one of the Govt's many stupid laws, it was illegal; but to say that was not a valid argument does not make sense. I can see if they commited a major crime or something like the Menendez brothers; but trying to buy booze w/ a fake ID?! Come on. I don't know why this is interesting to
anyone.
