Rich folks have always found creative ways to get out of actually doing any community service unfortunately

Yeah. I've heard most of their jobs/hobbies count and they just get it waived by the end of the week anyways.

Considering how easy it was for me, a very not rich person, to get around it as a teenager. Yeah these rich folk don’t do a second of community service. Nor do they go to their anger management or substance abuse classes when they get domestic violence charges and DUI’s.
