| ===Media coverage=== | |||
| In the summer of 2006, Mel Gibson's arrest and his subsequent apologies sparked a flurry of media reporting and commentary at a time when the major news story was the ], in its 17th day at the time of the DUI incident. Media figures debated the appropriate response to Gibson's alleged remarks and whether those remarks proved ]. Some members of the media expressed dismay that the coverage of Gibson's DUI arrest had become excessive. | |||

On the ] program '']'', show producer Mike Yarvitz drank to raise his blood alcohol level to 0.12, matching Gibson's level in the report. Yarvitz emphasized "not feeling anti-Semitic" after drinking. ] columnist ] wrote, "Well, I'm sorry about his relapse, but I just don't buy the idea that a little tequila, or even a lot of tequila, can somehow turn an unbiased person into a raging anti-Semite - or a racist, or a homophobe, or a bigot of any kind, for that matter. Alcohol removes inhibitions, allowing all kinds of opinions to escape uncensored. But you can't blame alcohol for forming and nurturing those opinions in the first place."<ref> August 1, 2006</ref> ], a critic of '']'', wrote in the ], "As little as I care for Mel and his splatter-fest Brit-hating oeuvre, though, I care even less for the schoolmarmish, prissy, squealing, skirt-clutching, sissified, feminized, pansified, preening moral vanity of the vile and anti-human ] cult." He went on to write, "The guy was drunk, for heaven's sake. We all say and do dumb things when we are drunk. If I were to be judged on my drunken escapades and follies, I should be utterly excluded from polite society, and so would you, unless you are some kind of saint."<ref> August 2, 2006</ref> ] on the August 1 edition of ]' '']'' said "People deserve compassion when they're in this kind of trouble.

Nevertheless, Medved suggested reconciliation between the Jewish community and Gibson was preferable to shunning Gibson.<ref> Aug 2, 2006</ref> | |||

Alan Marlatt, "Alcohol is not a truth serum…It may or may not indicate his true feelings."<ref name="MarilynElias">{{cite news | publisher = ] | url = http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-07-31-gibson-alcohol_x.htm | title = Alcohol loosens tongue, but only Gibson knows true feelings| author = Marilyn Elias| date = 2006-07-31 | accessdate = 2008-08-03 }}</ref> Addiction ] Bryon Adinoff stated "Clearly, Jews are on his mind.

People can lash out when they're drunk, and we don't know how deeply they believe what they're saying."<ref name=" MarilynElias" /> Addiction specialist Dr. ] also disagreed with the notion of alcohol as a "truth serum", saying "even when they are mildly intoxicated, if somebody is truly an addict...the thinking associated with addiction is profoundly affected."<ref> "Mel Gibson`s Legal Mess; Can Mel Atone?"

| ===Change to California law=== | |||
| As a result of the circumstances surrounding Gibson’s arrest, Assemblywoman ], D-Santa Monica, proposed legislation ("Mel's Law") that would criminalize the sale of privileged information pertaining to the arrests of high-profile suspects. The lawmaker argued that Mel Gibson's due process rights were violated by the unauthorized leak of prejudicial allegations before he had received due process.

| ===Investigation into allegations of special treatment=== | |||
| The ]'s civilian oversight Office of Independent Review opened an investigation into whether Gibson received special treatment due to his celebrity status and examine how the officer's internal report was leaked to TMZ.com.<ref>{{cite news | title = Gibson Arrest Probe Centers on Why Information Was Withheld | author = Winton, Richard; Blankstein, Andrew; and Garvey, Megan | publisher = Los Angeles Times | date = 2006-08-02 | accessdate = 2006-08-03}}</ref> Watchdog lawyer Michael Gennaco said an initial probe showed sheriffs did not give Gibson favorable treatment.<ref>{{cite news | title = Gibson arrest 'handled correctly' | publisher = BBC | date = 2006-08-02 | accessdate = 2006-08-03 | url = http://www.latimes}}</ref> The Office of Independent Review considered how the arrest of celebrities highlighted the issue of privacy rights of individuals versus the public's interest in arrests by deputies. In the case of Gibson's arrest, their annual report examined the allegations that the Department had improperly sought to keep his alleged inflammatory statements from review by altering the original police report. The investigation concluded that the unit commander had acted appropriately in placing the remarks attributed to Gibson in a supplemental report for the District Attorney’s office, and that his decision was not suggested or influenced by his superiors. The OIR found that the standard release protocol was not followed with Gibson because he was not required to give his palm print or sign a statement promising to appear in court. Furthermore, his supervisors were found to have violated department policy in driving Gibson to the tow yard without consulting the watch commander. The same investigation looked into alleged lack of professionalism at the station for non-essential employees entering the holding area to view Gibson while he was in custody. The investigation did not produce sufficient evidence to establish these charges.<ref name="aolcdn.com">http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/1220_gibson_wm_01.pdf Office of Independent Review Annual Report, L.A.

| Arresting Officer James Mee was the target of the LASD investigation of the leak to TMZ, and the prosecutor who reviewed the case found that only three sheriff’s employees had access to the information by the time it was released, including a sergeant and lieutenant who oversaw Mee’s reports on the arrest. Records obtained by investigators showed that there were calls between Mee’s residence and TMZ’s founder, Harvey Levin, but that it was impossible to say who made the calls on Mee’s end of the line. No improper payments to Mee, his wife or daughter were found. In 2009, prosecutors declined to press charges against Mee for illegally leaking the Gibson arrest report to TMZ, citing lack of proof.<ref>{{cite news | title = No charges over Mel Gibson DUI report leaks | publisher = The Associated Press | date = 2009-10-07 | accessdate = 2010-09-08 | url = http://sacramentoduiinformation.com/blog/tag/sheriffs-deputy-james-mee/}}</ref> On September 7, 2010, arresting officer James Mee sued the county of Los Angeles for religious discrimination and retaliation, citing that the plaintiff was "personally humiliated and has become mentally upset, distressed and aggravated" and seeking general damages for emotional distress and mental suffering and claiming losses including "loss of income, benefits and medical expenses," attorney's fees and cost of the suit.<ref>{{cite news | title = Officer Claims Discrimination in Wake of Mel Gibson's '06 DUI Arrest | publisher = The Insider | date = 2010-09-08 | accessdate = 2010-09-08 | url = http://www.theinsider.com/news/3361713_Officer_Claims_Discrimination_in_Wake_of_Mel_Gibson_s_06_DUI_Arrest}}</ref> | |||
