Some clarity here: first, we should stop throwing around the word privilege as meaning high-class, elite, wealthy, being born to a wealthy family. The reason why we have to change this is that what privilege really means is being above the law. Lex– law, lege– legal.
So the question is; are you above the law? Or, can your money prevent you from going to jail or serving time? 
Smart or stupid?
Honestly it seems, if you have enough money, or if your family has enough money, irregardless of what laws you break, you’re not going to go to jail. You’re going to be able to post Vail, and or figure out ways to clear your record, and also maybe do some sort of Community service or something.
What the privileged understand
Essentially, you can make a plea to the judge or whoever, and ultimately, almost everything can be pardoned.
