Hey, remember when Mel Gibson got pulled over for reckless driving and went on a drunken anti-semitic tirade, even calling a policewoman “Sugar Tits”? No, you don’t, because it didn’t happen—at least as far as his record is concerned. Aside from knocking up his mistress and agreeing to make The Beaver, Gibson has kept his nose mostly clean during the three years since his arrest (maybe he realized he was rich enough to be driven home from a bender in a poodle-drawn chariot made of gold). Having completed probation, Gibson asked to have his crime stricken from the record and—voila!—it was done.
Thankfully, TMZ doesn’t have to turn over those handwritten notes infamously taken out of the original police report, including such memorable lines from Gibson as “You motherf—er, I’m going to f— you,” “F—ing Jews…Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,” “what the f— are you doing?” and “my life is f—ed.” No, those won’t be leaving the public record any time soon.
