As part of a plea deal to an incident last year, Daniele Watts was ordered to write an apology to officers -- but the judge was not impressed.

When you're sorry but not really sorry, what happens? A judge tells you to do it again.

Last year, actress Daniele Watts was caught canoodling with her boyfriend in a parked car in Studio City, California.

Watts, who is black, pulled the race card with the responding police officer. She claimed the cops saw her and her boyfriend, who's white, and assumed she was a prostitute.

She eventually took a deal, pleading no contest to disturbing the peace. Part of that deal, though, was to write an apology letter to the officer. She did -- but it turns out the judge was not impressed. The judge ordered her to write a better one by Aug. 25.
