It was written to protect her and other high profile celebrities. It was written because of her and the harrassment she receives. If it becomes a law it will remain on the law books in Hollywood history, long after Britney Spears has sung her final note.
It's the Britney Law, proposed by Los Angeles Councilman Dennis Zine and this law would provide a 20 yard "personal safety bubble" around high profile celebrities to protect them from the packs of paparazzi who continually pursue them. After Britneys escapade on Jan 31 to the U.C.L.A. psychiatric ward, it took 20 police officers a helicopter and a team of intervetion specialists to guide her through the streets at the cost of $12,000. The motorcade which was a football field in length still got stuck in the middle of the swarming media.
The paparazzi are such a nuisance in L.A. trailing the stars that they might as well be considered stalkers. Wherever Britney goes the paparazzi are sure to follow breaking all kinds of traffic laws in an effort to keep tabs on her. One might think that imposing this law would improve things and why hasn't it been done before.
Is law enforcement really incapable of protecting the stars from the media?
Does imposing a law telling the paparazzi to stay away at 20 yards really going to keep them away?
Why can't law enforcement communicate that to the media?
How does this law interfere with Freedom of the Press?
Why haven't the stars started using their own body guards to better protect themselves from the harrassing paparazzi?
why should Britney or any other high profile star be escorted using tax payers dollars? Yes, it's the responsibilty of the police to keep the streets safe, but shouldn't the high profile stars using the forces of the city's police officers pay the bill. These people are pulling the police officers away from crimes that could have serious consequences.

A Britney Spears Sighting
Britney Spears was definetely not an unidentified object when she was spotted in a confrontation with Paparazzi earlier this week in Mission Hills. It was a little before midnight and the paparazzi were stopped by the police and brought in for questioning and charged with reckless endangerment. Mission Hills is a small little city in the northeast part of the San Fernando Valley.
Now, as a Valley Girl whose lived her entire life in the San Fernando Valley there's plenty to do in the valley, but what would bring Britney to our little corner of the valley at a little before midnight? There's no stores open in the area and and unless she was planning on picking up the freeway to head back to Malibu there was nothing for her to do out here. Earlier in the day she was spotted at the Galleria shopping center, but that's a long ways from Mission Hills.
Obviously the paparazi thought her fascinating, and with all of her escapades lately, it sure seems like Britney is adddicted to attention and in dire need of a lot of attention. She is a singer and performer and should be on stage in front of thousands of people. When she's not on stage she seems to fall apart.
