Paris looked clearly distraught days after the court hearing
Paris Hilton at arrived for her court hearing looking prim
She tells the magazine: "I think I get in more trouble just because of who I am.
"The cops do it all the time. They'll just pull me over to hit on me. It's really annoying. They're like, 'What's your phone number? Want to go to dinner?'
"They just pull me over, and the paparazzi, of course, take a picture. All the time. I have so many cops' business cards."
Earlier, Hilton parted company with her publicist Elliot Mintz over what he said was a "misunderstanding" over the terms of her probation.
Based on statements from Hilton and Mr Mintz, she apparently took legal advice from him, but not her lawyers.

Paris Hilton on the night she was pulled over by police for a driving violation
Mr Mintz said Hilton was being truthful when she told the judge she believed, incorrectly, that "it was OK for her to drive under certain circumstances" under the terms.
But long-time publicist Michael Levine said the 45-day jail sentence imposed by the judge may make Hilton more popular than ever.
"It will actually increase her star appeal in a very sick and demented way," he said.
"There's a segment of our society that's somehow engaged in the soap opera that is Paris Hilton, and this a very compelling plot line in the soap opera."
The party-loving TV star told the judge on Friday that she did not have time to talk with her lawyers about her probation.
On Saturday, as she left home for a shopping trip with her mother, she told photographers: "I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted and I don't deserve this."
Hilton, who parlayed her name and relentless partying into worldwide notoriety, will not be allowed any work release, no furloughs, no use of an alternative jail and no electronic monitoring in lieu of jail, Superior Court Judge Michael T Sauer ruled after a hearing.
The judge ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
The heiress was ordered to report to women's jail in suburban Lynwood.
Hilton, 26, was already on probation after admitting alcohol-related reckless driving and driving licence chiefs in California had suspended her license.
Then Hilton was stopped by highway patrol cops on January 15 this year and again by the LA County Sheriffs on February 27.
Checks discovered that she shouldn't have been on the road and her sporty Black Mercedes was impounded immediately.
According to legal papers, the prosecution has also requested that Paris should "not to consume any alcohol for a continuous period of 90 days and that she should be to be monitored for alcohol consumption... by use of a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM) device at her expense."
The device takes blood/alcohol readings and will show if she has been out drinking.
Her lawyer Howard Weitzman has said he will appeal the decision.

What a fortune she'll make selling her story to the media when she comes out. I do hope the rest of the prison inmates make her stay "worthwhile"!

I hope she serves it and realises that (important) laws are real..she is lucky she didn't crash...cars are dangerous weapons if the person behind the wheel is drunk or stupid.

Good for the judge-at last someone who insists the law is followed whoever you are. Hope this teaches her that she also has to follow the rules of the land.
