Welcome to Der Left Reich.  This is freakin' ridiculous!  Six months?   
Of course if it had been POT then the PC police probably would have  
looked the other way...

   LaBeouf 'not guilty' over smoking

Actor Shia LaBeouf has pleaded not guilty in a Californian court to a  
charge of breaking a smoking ban.
The 21-year-old Transformers star had failed to appear in a  
Californian court on Tuesday to face the charge of lighting up where  
he shouldn't.

As a result, the judge issued an arrest warrant, which has now been  
dismissed.

On Wednesday, a lawyer entered the plea on behalf of Mr LaBeouf who  
will appear again on 24 April. If found guilty, he faces up to six  
months in jail.

Court documents gave no further details of the circumstances or  
location of the offence, which also carries a $1,000 (£505) fine.
