Shia LaBeouf, who stars in the Michael Bay Transformers movies as Sam Witwicky, is allegedly in trouble with the law again. According to an article on the website of the Thirty Mile Zone, LaBeouf was set to stand trial for a unlawful smoking misdemeanor in Burbank, LA. But neither he or his lawyer appeared in court. A $1,000 bench warrant was issued for Shia's arrest.

Yet another reason why california should not be a part of the US any more. Unlawful smoking? Its unlawful to smoke outdoors? Then it should be unlawful to friggin drive seeing as exhaust fumes are just as harmful to people.

What exactly does "unlawful smoking" mean?
Was it weed?

Has anyone wondered if Frankie Muniz should have been Sam? I wonder what that would be like?

Shia, don't smoke, it kills.

A star of Shia's caliber can't be bothered with court.
Not with the need to save the world from giant robots with laser eyes

Good, maybe they can recast the part to someone who can actually act!

Maybe they'll send Barricade to drag him in.

lol, but he'd recognize Barricade's alt mode, so they'll send in Recon Barricade instead, he'll be fooled into thinking it's something completly different(just as Hasbro intended)!

Who said it was outdoors? Maybe it was somewhere inside.

Btw, can anyone elborate on how it works in the US for smokers? Is it legal to smoke in public rooms at all?

In the Netherlands these things are changing lately. (this summer it won't be permitted to smoke in restaurants/cafe's/disco's etc.

That's what I'd like to know. I'm glad I don't smoke, but this just doesn't make any sense.

Seems like the District Attorney wasn't a TF Movie fan.

What's a bench warrant? (Not up on legalese.)

And, no I don't think Frankie Muniz should have been. I liked him in Malcolm in the Middle, but... just doesn't seem like a Sam/Spike to me. You must be seeing something I don't.

Shia skipped his court case, so he deserves the trouble he's in in that aspect, but...

Unlawful smoking? Are you kidding me? Thats absured! Last I checked this was America not Soviet Russia! This new "prohibition" is getting way out of control. Its bullshit that I can no longer have a ciggerette after a nice meal when I go out to eat anymore. And its bullshit that my last year of school I had to walk out to my car! and its bullshit that at my own job they lock us in the building and won't let us smoke! I am a smoker and I'm sick of this shit. A smoker is only hurting their own body, people need to get off their high horse. I understand the risks of second hand smoke indoors, thats why it SHOULDN'T be a problem for restaraunts to be allowed to provide a seperated smoking section. But outdoors?

oh yeah and its bullshit that I went from paying $2.75 a pack to $400 last summer!

That 1000 bucks a reward or something? I know where he was Friday supposedly... honest, a friend of a friend told me he was at a school around here! Watching football when he should have been in court probably...

lol! Trouble again?! It must be from the influence of that Indiana Jones movie. Just cuz he plays a "badass" in the movie, he really thinks he is one.

But unfortunately, I do have to care... Cuz without him, TF 2 may be delayed. UNLESS, they fast forwarded into the future, and we get a older Sam in the movie. So no more need for LaBeouf.

I do hope he doesn't get himself in toooo much trouble. Cuz that court fine... pfft... after TF box office took off. I bet that money is just chump change. ; )
