LAPD Chief Wants Britney to 'Stay Home'

The LA police chief says proposed legislation regulating paparazzi would be unnecessary if celebrities stayed away from photographers rather than the other way around, the Huffington Post reports. “What we need is Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town,” William Bratton said on KPCC radio. “That would solve the problem. We don't need additional laws.”

“I've got laws coming out my ears to deal with this issue,” Bratton said. And he didn't stop at Spears: "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."
