Paris Hilton hit a parked car causing damage, then left without leaving a note -- a violation of California law, and it's all on video.It happened Thursday after a shopping spree in trendy Robertson Blvd in L.A. with her new BFF, Kim Kardashian . After loading her shopping bags into the trunk of her Range Rover, Hilton says good-bye to Kardashian and starts to back out of the parking spot without her seat belt on -- another violation of law.
Hilton checks her mirrors and looks around, but apparently doesn't notice the parked Honda Civic behind her and slams into the bumper, causing damage to both vehicles.
Hilton then exits the public parking structure without leaving a note with her contact information, which is a misdemeanor under California law, punishable by as much as six months in jail.
TMZ put a call into Hilton's publicist, Elliot Mintz. Our call was not immediately returned.

Looks staged to me. Plus no evidence Paris was the one who drove off.

Doesn't surprise me that Miss Paris would do something this idiotic. In other articles, she blames the paparazzi and her agent commented that she did leave her contact info with the garage attendant. Uh huh. Also notice she isn't wearing her seatbelt!
From the AP wire:
"Did she commit a crime? No," Elliot Mintz said.
"She was swarmed by paparazzi," he said. "The intensity of the lights, flashbulbs, momentarily disoriented her. She backed up, there was a minor fender-bender. No injuries. She then told me she notified one of the parking people at the facility how to contact her and asked the person to please pass that along" to the owner of the struck car.
"She did the correct thing and she would not leave the scene of a crime," he said.
Mintz said Hilton is insured.
"Paris is a very responsible and a very good driver. ... She takes her driving seriously," Mintz said. "This was unfortunate ... it will be handled appropriately."
And the day she actually gets in trouble for something, oh what a glorious day!
