Michelle Rodriguez holds everyone but herself responsible for her drunk driving convictions.
The 'Lost' star, who was convicted of the offense in 2004 and 2005, expressed her disgust at driving regulations and the restrictions she faces on her personal blog.
She wrote: "At 15 miles an hour, never killed a pot head. We get stopped driving 15 miles an hour down a 35-40 mph road.
"I cry, this sucks a**. I hire some lawyer from Hawaii, lose my 28 acres of land and my home in Jersey paying him off, just so I can get the same treatment I would have gotten from a public defender."
Michelle was fined, imprisoned and ordered to carry out community service and attend rehabilitation after being found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol.
'The Fast and the Furious' actress went on to describe the strict rules of rehab.
She added: "I realised my payday in movies was way better than TV at that moment. I get b***h slapped by Uncle Sam again in Hollywood. I get a sentence to wear a bracelet for three months to detect liquor content in your sweat.
"The second day the guy calls me and says you've got an alcohol reading. I was like, I haven't had any liquor. He's like, well you can't use Listerine, no shampoo, or soap, or lotion, or perfume, with alcohol in it.
"I started to feel a bit like a pawn. For someone like me this level of control just isn't necessary."

You want to tell me where this stupid 'not my fault' angel you pulled out of nowhere came from? I read the whole thing myself. She isn't blaming anything on anymore. You conventiently left out her saying 'so my dumb a-- followed her home' and other parts where she CLEARLY demonstrates remorse and personal responsibility. I suggest you rewrite your 'article' as you clearly forgot a little something called proper representation and journalistic integrity. And she's only upset at the anklet b/c IT IS FAULTY! Before you try to put spin, you should read the whole thing and be more open minded....and then give her words, not your INACCURATE representation of them. Also, how about adding a link so people can read it and judge for THEMSELVES. Thank you.
