Britney Spears prompts new law named after her
Britney Spears is going to have a law in L.A. named after her, because it was her $24,000 police escort to the UCLA Medical Center last month which prompted councilmen to propose the amendment. The star was taken from her home to the hospital on January 31st in an ambulance followed by a motorcade from the LAPD.
The job of the motorcade, which included more than 20 cops, a helicopter and a team of intervention specialists, was to block off traffic ahead and behind the ambulance carrying Britney and to keep the paparazzi at bay.
The move has inspired Councilman Dennis P. Zine to propose a safety zone to be set up to protect areas around celebrities, hospitals, traffic, businesses, and homes. The bill also suggests all members of the paparazzi get licenses to take photographs in the protected zones, with those breaking the law having their license revoked and royalties from the pics confiscated.
He says, “The straw that broke the camel’s back (idea that prompted the law) is the $24,000 we spent to escort an L.A. City ambulance 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.”
The new Britney law will be voted on by councilmen on March 1st.
