'Django Unchained' actress Daniele Watts, who was handcuffed after allegedly having sex with her boyfriend in a car, has been ordered to apologize to officers.

The American actress and her boyfriend were in a car outside the CBS Studios in the San Fernando Valley last September when people in a nearby office building called cops to complain they were having sex in the car, TMZ.com reported.

When LAPD Sergant Jim Parker asked Watts for her ID, she had claimed that she was targeted because she was an African American with a white boyfriend and went public with her outrage.

Watts and her boyfriend must each do 40 hours community service and write apology letters to Sgt. Parker and two other officers.
