Britney vs the Police: The Claws Come Out!
Filed under: Britney Spears
A Los Angeles county commissioner is attempting to pass new legislation - dubbed "Britney's law" - that aims to crack down on those paparazzi that are out of control..
Well, LAPD chief William Bratton thinks that's a crock of shit.
"What we need is Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town. That would solve the problem. We don't need additional laws…. I've got laws coming out my ears to deal with this issue.
What you have is several young women in this town and several young men basically making fools of themselves and tying up not only my resources but the resources of the media that would do better covering legitimate stories instead of a bunch of airheads running around out there….
Quite clearly some of these characters so favored by the paparazzi are clearly in need of services. Not police services, but psychiatric services.
We agree with the Chief - to a point.
Yes, these celebretards are partly to blame, but you gotta face the issues at hand. Though we wish they would, they aren't gonna get all boring and stay home. They live for the attention and you gotta deal with it.

Britney has the God given right to come out of her house and go wherever she wants to go….. what the hell are the LAPD talking about?
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay what??? now they cant even have the same rights as other human beings?? why shouldnt they be allowed in public without being dangerously mobbed? fuck that chief!!! "she should just stay home" wtf?????? kiss my ass "chief"
No Perez, you are WRONG. IF celebs live for the attention, THEY should have to deal with it. If they want attention, they can't pick and choose what type or how much attention they're going to get.
I can't stand these celebabies that cry because their life isn't normal. BOO FUCKIN HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That chief is exactly right. Britney and her family need to get her off the streets of Hollywood. I think she would do best to move out of the damn state and get out of the public eye until she gets her shit together.
The police chief is absolutely right. For these certain stars who feel the need to go to RiteAid for a $7 lipstick everynight or starbucks for a $10 latte every day it is costing taxpayers hundreds if not thousands of dollars EACH TIME. They can hire their own private security to deal with the paps that they are SEEKING OUT and some dating. For other citizens safety however, I do think something needs to be done with the paps reckless and dangerous driving manuvers.
If they love the attention so much let them pay for their own private security. I as a taxpayer and tired of paying for it.
Lmfao He's right.
Bullshit Perez - I love you, but to clebutyrants can do whatever the fuck they want - I can accept that, but not support it for the police or masses they endanger - Fuck Her - Long Live The Chief for saying something with principal and nuts for once in the last 15 years in this country!!!!
Well I don't want to get raped or mugged, so instead of the cops arresting rapists and muggers, I should just stay home?
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. How did this man become the chief of the LAPD? He's a dumbass.

What a freaking jackass!!!!!! Blaming the victim…everyone, that is EVERYONE, in this country (not jailed anyway) has the right to go about thier business un-hindered, un-harrassed. WTF business is it of the STATE if a man or woman goes out to dinner or shopping or whatever. If they are being stalked and in danger it is the DUTY of the STATE to protect that person. That is what the fuck they are paid for. William Bratton needs to be FIRED right now. He is not capable of doing his SWORN DUTY!!!!!!!!!
The chief is totally right. These losers can be anonymous if they want. Some paps can be overly aggressive, and there should be some level of regulation. However, most of the crybaby celebs go to the same spots they know they will be followed and seen. They live for this stuff. They don't like the attention? Then don't go to the Ivy, Hyde, whatever. And if you do, spend some of your money and hire bodyguards. The police are there to serve the public, not these spoiled brats. Hail to the Chief!
Re: YEA BITCH, NO ONE ELSE IS IN THE STREET BUT –
FUK U!!!! BRITNEY, SHES A BEAUTY U FUKIN HAIRY ASS GO TO FUKIN MARS.. SO WAT IF SHE HAD A ROUGH YEAR SHE BACK NOW WANNA KNOW Y???? COS ITS BRITNEY BITCH
FUKHOLE
Hey Chief,
Why don't we just lock her and the kids in the house and throw away the keys? Why should she have to become a recluse in order to have a normal life? You go where ever you want, when ever you want. Brittany should be entitled to do the same. What she needs to do is figure out a way to charge a hefty fee for each photo taken, sold and published without her permission. Maybe then, the papparizzi will leave her alone. People are making money off of her, without a thought or care to her sanity or peace of mind. Makem' pay you back Brit for all the pain they've caused!!!!!!
he is right to a point but u cant expect someone to be come a shutin. Stay at home for a week see how much u like it. The real problem is the paps (you know those 20 guys that are always at her house)
I totally agree with him most celebrities just want attention and then waste tax payers money to protect themselves. If they want the attention that badly and need the police to help them out when they get in over their heads then they need to be financially responsible. Britney's drama has cost the tax payers of california over 20000$ in services from police fire and ambulance services. Enough is enough they're entertainers that's all they don't do anything that's actually important.
ummm… Isn't this a FREE country? If you want to confine her and never let her go anyplace, ship her to Gitmo. Isn't that what's happened with those prisoners?
ummm… Proclaiming someone to be a "fool" or "airhead" is not your job. Your job is to protect people who are being stalked, being harassed. If these paparazzi didn't have cameras, and were just a mob of people, would you allow them to circle her car, yell at her, wave stuff in her face, or block her from entering or exiting someplace?
ummm… I like how you say it's tying up YOUR resources. Wouldn't it be OUR resources, given that we're taxpayers, which would include Britney Spears, because she's a taxpayer?
ummm… How noble of you to have the media's business success at heart. Because you do know, right, that media outlets are profiting corporations? And I'm curious: what makes a story "legitimate"? Because YOU say it is?
ummm… Where did you get your Ph.D.? Seems you're diagnosing a need for pyschiatric involvement. I didn't know you were a doctor.
why should stars not be givin the same right as we are to go and come as we please dont think that if the paps were following you they wouldnt find some shot to make you look bad remember dont always believe everything you read. so what if they dont want to stay held up in there houses should they have to, i think not there needs to be some set rules and bounderies beyond what there is now to protect all the celebreties from ending up like princess diana, really watch one of the videos about all the craziness and you will see what i mean there needs to be a feet limit there is zoom on those lenses you know
Chief has got laws coming out of his ears… And WE ALL have THE FIRST AMENDMENT of THE CONSTITUTION protecting the right of the FREE PRESS to cover public figures which includes ALL CELEBRITIES. It is effing embarrassing for an LA councilman to be touting some vague, arbitrary chit-chat about "safety zones" and "common decency." If you don't think the paparazzi are part of the FREE PRESS as provided for by THE CONSTITUTION then PROVE IT IN COURT!!! If you want to amend THE CONSTITUTION to limit the rights of the FREE PRESS then SAY SO!!!
Are you serious! STAY AT HOME????? Who the f*#ck wants to be a prisoner at home? I mean I understand that there are certain spots these asses go to just to be photographed but asking them to stay in their homes is bullshit.
these celebs dont want to stay home and out of the way of the paps…. it is totally impossible for them to know exactly where these stars are at all times these stars like britney , lindsey, paris etc….they call them to let them know where they are…these girls thrive on all the attention!!!!
There should be a law keeping the photogs away at a reasonable distance. But to call it BRITNEY'S LAW, is ridiculous. She brings this all on her nasty self & if I saw the chief, I would hug him because he is 100% RIGHT!

Bratton is an idiot! Does not matter how many times she goes out in a day…she is a public citizen and as such the police are obligated to protect her. That is there job!! Yes. It can be annoying. But it is there JOB! The paps are out of line.
TRUE,TRUE,TRUE, THIS MAN IS RIGHT!!! THESE GIRLS ARE MAKING TOTAL ASSES OF THEMSELVES WHEN THEY GO OUT!!THEY NEED TO ACT NORMAL THEN THE PAPS WILL GET BOARD AND GO AWAY!!!!!
Re: jnjkin – YOU ARE RIGHT TOO! BUT I THINK THERE ARE WORSE CRIMINALS THEY NEED TO CATCH THEN THE PAPS.ALTHOUGH THEY SHOULD'NT BE DODGING INFRONT OF CARS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC.I BET IF I LIVED IN THAT TOWN I WOULD GO NUTS!!!
And why do the police HAVE to deal with it. That is such a crock of shit. If they feel like going out and being a spectical then why the hell don't they have to pay security to deal with the shit. They cause the shit, they should clean it up. Wasting police time with this issue is absolutely foolish. I think they have more important things to deal with… they should just start fining the paps and the celelbs that cause the problems.
Re: Rona – spoken like a TRUE genius.Why don't so many people get that!!!!
YES YES YES… cali needs the new law… i dont wanna see britney going to the gas station all the time.. i get depressed enough just going there myself! i dont care what kind of gum she buys or what color lighter she likes… its fucking ridiculous.. the paparazzi are PARASITES that cannot get a real job.. im sure about half of them speak english too… the world would be a lot better without paparazzi.
I AM WITH THE CHIEF!!! Perez, he wouldn't want her to stay home if she did not make such a spectacle of herself. There are plenty of stars who don't. He said it's not all stars but the ones who act inappropriately that tie up his resources.
AT LAST—SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE WHO TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!!! BUST ALL THE PAPS FOR VAGRANCY, OBSTRUCTION OF TRAFFIC, WHATEVER ELSE YOU CAN THROW AT THEM TO STOP THIS NONSENSE!! TICKET BRIT FOR EVERY TRAFFIC INFRACTION SHE MAKES TO STOP THE AIMLESS DRIVING AROUND. AND STOP BUYING THE STUPID CELEBRITY RAGS! Oh good, I feel better now. You go chief!!!
I HEART WILLIAM BRATTON. FYI kids - it was BRATTON that cleaned up NYC - NOT Guiliani - and THAT is why he got rid of him - he couldn't stand for the REAL MAN to take his well-deserved credit. You GO, Bill!
I agree. People, like Britney, not regular celebs, who complain about the mobs when they go out should just stay home a bit. For christ's sake - do you need to go to Starbucks 4x a day? Go out and do your shopping for lipstick and lollipops once a week, instead of 10x a day.
I can't imagine subjecting my children to that. It's criminal.
#

WELL, IF THERE WAS NO KRAZY PAPARAZZI CHASEING THESE PEOPLE AROUND OR SOME LAWS PUT INTO PLACE THEY WOULD NOT GET THE ATTENTION THEY NEED, IT'S NOT THE CELEBS, IT'S THE PAPARAZZI THINKING THEY ARE UN-TOUCHABLE AND IN SOME WAYS THEY ARE!! THEY TAUNT THESE PEOPLE AND HOUND THEM IN ANY WAY TO GET A BAD PICTURE , SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE.

maybe photogs will stop following when celebs and their pr peeps stop calling the media to let them know where and when they will be in public being assholes.
Just like the LAPD are trained to do blame the victim. They do it with those who have dealt with domestic violence and they are doing it with celebs re paparazzi. I mean seriously to tell someone to stay home instead of controlling the public streets seriously? Brit has her problems but she isn't to blame for all of them. I wil be glad when the day comes everyone starts taking blame for what their part of contributed to in this Britney mania. Roger Kaplan and company certainly didn't help matters with talking to the media and making the custody hearings more public than they already were, the media and paparazzi for constantly covering a woman who obviously has mental problems, and us the public for constantly tuning in. I think blame can go all around the thing is no one wants to take any of it they'd rather have Britney sink alone. Well she sunk so we all need to move on!
"What we need is Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town. That would solve the problem. …"
What a moron!
Yeah, let's punish innocent, tax-paying citizens.
Let's force them into a form of house arrest.
This is why our laws are going to shit.
It's not that we have too many laws.
It's that we have too many useless laws, and don't have enough laws that really protect us.
That cop is such a dumbass.
You know what the LAPD should really do? Set up snipers around areas where these retards (both the "celebs" and paps are going to be) and just start pulling the trigger. Even if they just kill one person, at least that will serve notice to all those pieces of shit. I dare one of those persian or mexican pap fucks to knock down my child if one of those fucktards happens to come in to where I'm hanging out because there will be blood. Lots of it.
A "little on the excessive side" in reference to Britney? Are you fucking retarded? Shoot them all….please LAPD SWAT!
NO THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT!!
stay the fuck at home Brit. The Chief is totally right. Why should there be a law passed to protect these dumbasses? They clearly want the attention…
this is so stupid.
The chief is wrong and pretty much all of you have failed to address the most important issue. Freedom of the press. They pass some invalid "law" then you can bet the press will be killed off much like they do in other places of the world. It is a constitutional right for a photographer to do his job. We may not like it but we cannot start messing with the most important document our country has.
Perez, perez, perez. You're so naive. Britney WANTS to be seen. She loves the paps, so much so that she has fucked several. Paps are scum, but many of these celebretards bring it upon themselves. Does Britney really need to drive all over town at night with her inside car lights on? Does she really need to use those disgusting gas station bathrooms? She wants to be seen. Notice she's not doing that lately. Her meds are probably kicking in. I've heard some stars say that they have the right to go anywhere anytime without be disturbed. Following that logic, the paps should have the right to go anywhere anytime and take anyone's picture. Stars don't have MORE rights because they are stars. They just like to think they do.
Re: Too much… – So when you need a cop for something and they are not available because they are responding to a Brit/pap problem I don't want to hear any whining that they weren't there when you needed them!
Perez:
You got it wrong. If the *celebretards* (as you call them) DID stay home, and if websites such as PerezHilton.com stopped posting the pics of them, it would save us all additional tax dollars that arise as a result of these ludicrous situations. BTW, you calling them *celebretards* is the pot calling the kettle black. You're a wanna-be just like them, admit it.
WELL SAID CHIEF!
William Bratton for President! It's about time someone in a position of authority calls these dips out.
Way to go Chief!! Finally someone out in Hollyweird WITH SOME BRAINS about this nonsens with these nitwit so called "stars"…
Why should she stay home? She has as much right to go out whenever she wants as much as the next person. What a dumb thing to say! Go after the paps, not Britney…..handle it - deal with it - do something - don't blame Britney.
nice! i really have to love what the chief said
couldnt agree more
If the LAPD has all the laws they need already… then why does this continue to go on??? The LAPD is a joke… there's nowhere else in the country these papparazzis would be acting like they are! Anywhere else they'd have been tossed in the clink from the get-go. These paps are breaking laws, and the LAPD isn't doing their job… and that's how it is February 22, 2008.
wow this actually pisses me off expecually hearing it from a chief of police wtf, why the hell should britney have to stay home just cause crazy paps are on her ass, if it wasnt brit it would be someone else so clearly the fn paps need to be controled, what they do to her is so barbaric. I cant even believe they can keep ther cool the way they do.

are u freakin kidding me, isn't this America?? She can go out whenever the hell she wants to. I'd go insane if I was locked up in my house all day. That chief is an idiot. Why doesn't he and his wife stay locked up indoors all day. If Brit wants to get out she should get out. I like this law
How many times in one day does the woman need to go out for goodness sake ? I go out to go to work and I come home. Sometimes I do some shopping on the way home. It's ridiculous to say that asking her to stay home a bit more is infringing her liberties.
Just think that for every time your precious Britney is making a scene requiring police attendance, that their police resources are unable to deal with drug dealers, gangs, muggers etc. Just because some attention seeking "celebrity" with a defunct career needs to get her publiticy fix. I'm sure that wasn't what Mr Bratton joined the force for.
You don't see Whitney Houston, Celine Dion or Julia Roberts all over the papers every millisecond of the day, somehow they manage to get on with their daily lives too without courting the press. If they can do it, so can Britney. If she wanted to that is…..
Isn't that his job to protect people? It doesn't matter who they are. They aren't going to stay cooped up at home. That seems like something really dumb to be said on public official's part.
Re: Meghan –
Are you insane? SHE CALLS THE PAPS TO LET THEM KNOW WHERE SHE WILL BE!!! They have her coffee waiting for her when she gets there for fuck's sake! Britney notifying paps of her destination is a bigger open secret than who's gay in Hollywood.
Why should she have to stay home? Would you stay home? Didn't think so. She's just living her life like everyone else. The paps are the crazy ones.
perez you make a point… but it's not like they're just following britney when she's doing something crazy or tab worthy (like flashing her you know) or attention grabbling… They follow her when she goes to freakin rite aid, when she goes shopping, when she goes to taco bell… i mean that's NORMAL stuff… should she have to hide out for the rest of her life??
That sounds like an unfinished point and why would you wish celebs would stay home…….Whoooowattt
chief William Bratton for president!!!!!!!!
He is correct britney should stay home. It is unusual and gross to use gas station bathrooms and she was doing it everyday. She needs psychiatric help and everyone agrees. So where is he wrong. Seriously, how would britney law be enforced i it was passed?
Who says that this guy is wrong, must be out of their mind! It's always about Britney. Even a law named Britney…good Lord! Do you guys see other real talented and famous people putting the life of pedestrians and drivers at stake? No. You mostly see this circus with Britney. I stopped defending this girl since she came out of the hospital. She isn't obviously sick. She is only sick for attention and yes she should stay at home once in a while. Going to Starbucks isn't THAT important, is it? She should only go out when it's really necessary. Did you guys see how crazy things go when she goes out? It's a matter of time until someone gets seriously injured or even killed. It's her and these paps who need to take a fucking break. I doubt the Chief would have said anything like this if wasn't a real serious situation. Think about it…
Re: sassafrass – You're right, sassafrass, and I will be the first to admit I have contributed to the insanity. I have been hitting these sites and buying mags for months now keeping up with the dirt on this poor girl. At first I thought she was, you know this spoiled narcissist, so it was fun reading people's barbs. Now it is just all so dark and twisted, it's really sad. I'm sorry for my part, and will not be chasing after Britney's latest antic anymore. I pray good things for her, and freedom of mind through the power of love.
to me, since she came under the control of her father, et al, she has looked very, very angry - albeit a controlled anger, but nonetheless angry. She does not have the look of surrender, which recovery requires. But - who knows - she may yet acquire it without having to go back out into the drug jungle. She will eventually acquire it, or she will die. I began recovery in late 1976.
LOVE THIS GUY!!!! WHAT A HOOT!
Please, Please! Note to employers of paparazzi, Please hire more gang members to shot for you. Those types get frustrated easily and they PACK! and they're lame shots- except some fellow collateral damage.
I can't thin all the heard all the time.
G.O.D. has spoken!
ugh, i hate commenting on perez because everyone sounds like a fucking airhead, but as much as i dislike the mindset of celebs, there is no way a "police commissioner" can say that they need to stay home. ok, stalin, are you serious? are we going to start slavery and prohibition again? what a fucking idiot.
Perez. Come on. He is exactly right. Britney, Lindsey, and the like need to stay home. The media is only as powerful as its subject matter.
first and foremost I think that whoever said that Britney needs to stay home, should reread the freedoms that we're all "supposed" to have. Turns out that when whatever was signed, they didn't add the clause that said celebrities need to stay home. They're people just like you and I….and what else would we have to keep us entertained if they didn't leave their houses and parade around doing stupid thing? Duh.
why should she have to stay home. that is stupid. she should be able to go out and not be harrassed like anybody else.
LET ME ASK A QUESTION TO YOU PEOPLE SO QUICK TO AGREE WITH THIS COP WHO QUITE OBVIOUSLY WOULD RATHER STUFF HIS MOUTH WITH DONUTS THAN DO HIS FUCKING JOB!!! HERE'S MY QUESTION: IF YOU WERE A CELEBRITY, WOULD YOU WANT SOMEBODY TELLING YOU TO STAY IN YOUR HOUSE AND NEVER LEAVE????
THESE CELEBS ARE PEOPLE TO AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND EAT AND SHOP AND RUN ERRANDS LIKE THE REST OF US…AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IT'S NOT THE CELEB'S FAULT FOR ANY OF THIS THAT INCLUDES BRITNEY…IF THERE WERE NO FUCKING PAPARAZZI THEN GUESS WHAT THERE WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM…THEY'D BE ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE IN PEACE…THE PAPARAZZI ARE THE BLAME…THERE THE ONES CAMPED OUTSIDE THESE PEOPLE'S HOUSES WAITING TO POUNCE ON THEM…IT'S ALSO OUR FAULT TO…CUZ WE CRAVE THIS CELEB GOSSIP LIKE IT'S A DRUG…TO BLAME THE CELEB IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICRUS!!!
sorry P, gotta disagree with you. if they dont want to be photographed, then they should either not be starletts or they should stay in their fucking houses….. there is NO reason that my money as a taxpayer should go helping that worhtless whore out, NONE
that Chief is a jerk,
Stars shouldnt have to stay at home just because of paparazzi, they should be able to have the right to go where they want just like everyone else. I think this new law will be great.
Perez, if they aren't gonna, "become all boring and stay at home," then let THEM (the celebretards) deal with it–with their OWN money and NOT THE TAXPAYERS. God only knows they have enough money–unlike the majority of taxpayers who end up shelling out for their "protection."
You mean to tell me that endangering motorways and professionally stalking is deemed okay? A person, famous or not, not being able to leave their home because of hte out of control paps is the answer? Well, I think someone loves to sit on his fat ass and eat donuts, too much. (I know you thought I was talking about Pigez…nope, ole fat ass chief!!) Seriously, this is going to cause him a huge load of crap….he will def be following this one up with an apology to Brit, as she is getting the help she needs, and his defamatory remark was completely unprofessional, as a public official to boot!! I say fire his ass…or lets watch him politely resign, really soon……I PROMISE!!
Wait. Perez listens to NPR?
Who the fuck are people to say that 'she' should be staying home and not be around. That's just a load of crap to me. She has just as much RIGHT as anyone else calling America their home. It must make alot of people really angry that Britney has accomplished so much in her early years and it's sickening that some people are now trying so hard to bring her down.
Shame on the ones who talk about her in such a negative way. If there's anyone that 'you' people need to feel sorry for are youselves for putting so much effort and energy in hating on her.
Stupid people…
They're also human beings and they can't just stay closeted in their house all day!
AMEN TO THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHere exactly to I nominate this man to be the next Head of State !! or at least Govenor !!
Re: BULLSHIT!!! – -Listen, do you see this kind of frenzy around NORMAL celebs? NO! Why? Because it is a well known fact that Britney calls the paparazzi & informs them as to where she will be & when.
Britney considers these people, who make millions off of her, as friends. This is hilarious because if you really listen to their comments after shouting at her or taking photos/videos of her, they are laughing &/or making nasty comments.
There should be a law that says the paps should stay a reasonable distance from ANY celeb. With telephoto lenses there is no need for them to be ON TOP of anyone or following so closely in a car. Someone will get hurt.
However, to call such a law "BRITNEY'S LAW" when she brings this frenzy on herself, is absurd. She made her skanky bed, so so should lay in it.
Re: Derek – - UHM Derek, Brit is not a human being. She is a disgace as a mother, friend, daughter & entertainer. She needs to be put out of her ugly misery.
That police chief is an idiot!!!
to not pass a law because there's already too many laws is ridiculous!!! Nice to know the LA police chief doesn't CARE about public safety - including the non-celebs that happen to get in the way of those reckless paps!
it's not just about them standing around taking pictures. they drive recklessly to keep up with celebs in their cars. they hang out in large groups outside of celebs homes and *follow them*. they stalk around bushes and disturb non-celeb neighbors. If britney stayed at home all day, they'd be camped outside her door disturbing neighbors, you idiot shit-for-brains police chief.
when some innocent bystander gets hurt by the actions of some pap, i hope they sue the LA police department for millions and that idiot gets fired!
READ DIS Y'ALL:
Britney recently shocked her closest friends by admitting that, even when she gets well, she doesn’t plan to fight her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, for full-time custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden, 17 months. “She doesn’t want the kids back,” Britney’s first husband, Jason Alexander, tells In Touch. “She wants to see them, but she doesn’t want to be a full-time mom. She said it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t get them back full-time, and that she can always have other kids later on.”
“We’ve been speaking for a few weeks now,” says Jason, who moved to LA at Christmastime. “I got a phone call, a voice mail, that said, ‘Hey! It’s me. I know we haven’t spoken in a while.’ It was Britney. She said she’d call me back, and we’ve been speaking ever since.”
Jason adds that Britney’s parents are supporting her decision not to seek full custody of the children right now. But once they help her get on her feet, he explains, she may decide to play a more active role in the lives of Preston and Jayden. “She misses them,” says Jason. “I don’t think she should have full custody because she needs to focus on her.”
Re: shina – - HEY SHINA, no one is trying to bring Britney down. She did that all by herself.
What part of "protect & serve"did the Cop Tard not get?
He's the Chief of Police- where? LA? Did anyone explain to him that Hollywood is there? Did he not anticipate that some of the people he may be required to protect would be celebrities?
I understand how it might be easier for him if "they just stay home" but doesn't that go for all of us? Maybe that's the answer, everyone should just be under house arrest!
You idiots that say "f*ck the celebritards" are the retards!! Police are paid to protect the public - this includes you, your kids, and any other family members! i could care less about the celebritys, it's the innocent bystanders that need the protection!!
those monkeys with their cameras run around taking 100's of pictures of the same thing all at the same time. they're obsessed and it doesn't matter who gets in their way. whether they're walking along the street, jumping into oncoming traffic or driving on the streets while taking pictures, they've got to be stopped before they hurt someone.
and the idiot that thinks they're a part of the "free press" is the biggest idiot of all! they *stalk* people taking pictures and selling them! how is that any different than those "up-skirt" pervs who do the same thing?? are those pervs considered "press' as well???
i'm not a fan of britney or paris, but what woman wearing a skirt wants to get in and out of a car several times a day - every day - with 20 paps all standing around trying to get the money shot?? and that's somehow considered acceptable!?!
I think that the celebs need to just deal with it they wanted fame and they got it , stop your bitchin !!!! The police have other things to deal with. I agree with the chief. stay home if the photogs bug you …
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DOUCHEBAG MUCH! It's stalking. If I , A lowly "Normie", was walking down the street, being swarmed and constantly followed it would be assault and stalking. Just because celebs are in the public eye does not give the right for people to ATTACK them. Yeah I said ATTACK! So tell that fucktard to get off his doughnut eatting ASS and do something about this cause it's out of hand.
The papz suck. And I think the chief is right. L.A. has bigger issues to deal with than a bunch of attention hungry brats and losers who can't find real jobs
Hey retards! Who said anything about becoming a hermit or shut-in. the dumbass is in the news every damn day. it wouldn't hurt her to order in once in a while or take a vacation. i hear canada is beautiful this time of year
The chief said there are already laws on the books to deal with violations and it is not necessary to draft a law specific for Brittany Spears. However, enforcing the laws is another story because the Bimbo can leave her house at any time to flash her cooch which she apparently does many times a day and night. You idiots think the police should be on call to follow her around every time she leaves her house to arrest paparazzi???
GO CHIEF!! I fully support him. Britney and all the other idiots purposely go to the same places because they crave the attention. They even call the paparazzi to let them know when and where. They can all afford to hire their own security and bodyguards. They can also have their assistants go out and pick up laundry and coffee and run errands. Also, it is all you losers who have nothing to do but discuss celebretards as if they care about you at all that perpetuate this stupidity.
I kind of agree with him , Britney is out and about day in and day out buying coffee ,shopping at night time and just running around like a psychopath ,because she is CRAZY !!!! , of course there should be a law against the paps but hey the truth is that's a job ,these people make money and this is what they choose to do for a living , selfish or not it is up to the celebrity to be smart so they won't get hounded by them but in Britney's case , before I had a little sympathy for her but now I don't have any because after her second breakdown and like the next day she was literally back on her old ways running around like a complete attention whore , the little sympathy I had went out of the window , and honestly do they really need to have that much police cars and helicopters everytime this skank have a breakdown?
she is not that important , she was once a pop star and not even a good one
Britney's story is truly like a bad nightmare that won't end . PATHETIC
Finally!
Thats bull, she shouldnt be expected to become a prisoner in her own home. she has just as much right to leave the house as the next person. Create the law it would protect many people and let the girl go to walgreens to buy her $ 4 lipstick.
