Do attractive people get away with more?

[KO896]

Do you think looks play a part in whether people can get away with something? I think about how cops pull over a cute girl and let her go because of her looks instead of giving her a ticket. How about judges? Are they easier on attractive people? Juries? The public when looking at crimes committed?

Yeah. @DrLeftover has mentioned some things about it that I find very valid in past threads.

Thank you for the compliment.

And yes, especially with juries, paid defense lawyers will spend a great deal of time and effort to make sure their client doesn't look and act like a criminal. Including having them change into a suit, have their hair done, and even coach them on how to sit and pay attention instead of scowl and mutter about revenge.

Public defenders, not so much.

Yes.

Yes.

OTOH......Names: One of the latest ASSUMED (until proven guilty) hi-profile criminals is named Luigi.
I'm thinking....my goodness! Luigi is such a cute name; nobody named Luigi could possibly have done that! .

Yes, but only if they are a hot, younger girl (though, some older attractive women can also pull this off).

I thought there'd be a bit more discussion about the "good is beautiful" line.

Maybe everybody has forgotten how... back in the day.... things like this were the normal depiction of "bad guys":

Of course that is the movie version of the 1930s and 40s hit comic Dick Tracy.

Being good looking has had its advantages for centuries , even in ancient times, people thought beauty meant you were a good person.
So yeah, being attractive can definitely help you get away with a little more.

Yes, but generally only if you're a woman. The weird part about it is, women themselves are 50/50 about the treatment. On the one hand, if they get stopped by a cop and know they are hot as fuck, they'll flaunt themselves to try and get off. On the other hand, women say they are repulsed by guys who are only into them sexually. Honies, make up your mind. You can't utilize your sexuality and then cry when someone actually takes the bait.
