Golf God Above the Law?

This past week, the world's only billion dollar athlete, Tiger Woods was involved in a slow moving one car accident outside of his home in Orlando. A neighbor called in the incident at approximately two twenty five on the morning after November. (quite strange that Woods' neighbor was so alert and ready to call incident in at such an hour, but thats beside the point). Woods, somehow ran into a fire hydrant just outside his driveway, and left himself unconcious. New information has divulged that he was badly bruised and had sustained many cuts in the incident, and for some reason barefoot. His wife then supposedly ran out of the house, golf club in hand. This is where the media takes hold of the story. One rumor is that Woods and his wife, Swedish supermodel Elin Nordegren had been having a dispute that evening and Woods left the house and she followed him out and proceeded to smash the windows of his car. The other rumor, one that I personally believe is that alcohol was involved, and he crashed his car. Those are the simplest and most believable circumstances I can see. The story for me takes a turn when the police attempted to assess the situation. Woods refused to comment or even subject himself to alcohol testing. He made no public statement for several days and had no apparent contact with the police either, despite their numerous visits to his home in the ultra exlusive gated community of Isleworth, FL. My only hesitation with this story is why was Woods allowed to defer any questioning from the police. He's a normal law obiding citizen just like me, but I think that if I crashed my car outside my house I couldn't just keep all the information to myself. This leads me to suspect that Woods, simply for being a celebrity was afforded different treatment. How could we justify this when every day people are arrested for very similar offenses, and Woods can just defer all the heat until he is ready?
