The Britney Law

February 12, 2008 / Posted by:

Britney might be getting a law named after her. That’s if L.A. City Councilman Dennis P. Zine gets his way. He is proposing that a “safety zone” be set up to protect public safety. The “bubble” would be built around celebrities, hospitals, traffic, businesses, homes, etc… He also wants to make all paps get licenses. If they violate the safety zone, they could get their license taken away and lose all the money they make from the photos.

Dennis told Radar, “The straw that broke the camel’s back is the $24,000 we spent to escort an L.A. City ambulance (with Brit in it) to the hospital. I’m not infringing upon the right to take a picture. I’m concerned about the impact they have on the general public.”

There’s already an”anti-stalkerazzi” law in California. If paps cause any kind of damage while taking pics of a celebrity they are responsible for three times the damage. They also lose any profit they would have made from take those pictures.

The new “Britney Law” will go to the committee by March 1.

They shouldn’t name it the Britney Law. This is not what she wants. Homegirl will cry if this shit gets passed. Her friends will have to go away. She can wave to them from afar, but it won’t be the same. Who will pump her gas? Who will escort her to the gas station restroom? Who will she date?

Thanks Leah
