Brit Under Investigation by LAPD

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD is conducting an investigation into a traffic mishap Friday, when Britney Spears ran over an L.A. County Sheriff deputy's foot.
Britney Spears
We're told the "traffic collision complaint" was filed by the Sheriff's Department and the LAPD is conducting an "active investigation." We're told the LAPD is looking at the possibility of hit and run.

The incident occurred as Brit was leaving the L.A. County Courthouse after her custody hearing.

UPDATE: The LAPD tells TMZ "The LAPD is aware that Britney Spears was leaving the courthouse. We are also aware that a deputy was injured. The LAPD is unable to confirm the details on the deputy's injury because the investigation is in its initial stage."

571. Why doesn't this woman just get herself a driver? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2181126/

572. Hey Lisa, #254, posted at 2:49PM on Nov 3rd 2007: Wrong - TMZ DID create more trouble for poor Britney. They put a misleading headline "Brit Under Investigation by the LAPD" on this story (what a shock that is, huh?). They later recounted that Britney was not, in fact, the subject of an investigation - the woman police officer who got her foot run over is under investigation by the LAPD (ok, that part was a lie but I wanted to see what it was like to be a writer for tmz). And if a "cop is in your way" at the rear passenger side of you vehicle where you can't even see her since about 100 other crazed people are swarming all over your car, you say to just "stop". WTF? You don't even have to be a college graduate to know they they DO NOT have a right to be all over your car. Do you actually believe that 100 people can just swarm YOUR car and you should just sit there while they get photos that then sell them???

And to those of you who say she should be locked up ... let me remind you of something. OJ should have been locked up for MURDER, the police "officers" who beat the crap out of Rodney King whould have been locked up and the key thrown away. But in the eyes of all you morons, Britney should be locked up???

Sick, sick, sick people in LA. LAPD before the next court appearance on November 26th, I think, please have a plan in place. If you keep letting the paps push you around, it might be a full body run over next time. If you can't find the paps, let me give you a hint ... either look out the window or watch tmz's live feed of the paps that show up hours before Britney. WTF did you think that mob was doing out there? Put down the donuts, get some barricades, some police tape, have the paps relagated to a designated area and, as the ones in charge (meaning the LAPD), lay down the law and tell the paps where the boundary line is that they CANNOT CROSS or THEY will be arrested for disorderly conduct (um, you might what to ley your imbicle deputies in on where that line is also). The girl just wants to get in her car and drive out of the garage.

Put Brit in jail and let OJ go free - am I missing something?????

574. MANY OF YOU ARE SAYING BRITNEY IS FAT AND UGLY LOOK AT YOURSELVES IN THE MIRROR BEFORE YOU TALK.

575. mercy, now the cops are on her too. if someone gets their foot run over, it's because they were standing too close to the auto. it's not the driver's fault. this is cut and dry, end of story, end of complaint. move on people, you're in the way here.............

576. The LAPD cleared the way and told her to turn LEFT - she turned RIGHT. She doesn't follow instructions FROM ANYONE - judges, parenting coaches, police, her parents, construction signs, the DMV, etc. It is so obvious that she is oblivious to anyone or anything else around her. It seems to me that In her mind, everyone and everything exists for her.

I just don't get you people who defend her. If she hadn't screwed up in the first place, she wouldn't have been at the courthouse. She has created her own nightmare.

577. If someone's foot gets run over the driver shouldn't have accelerated. She should have waited until the police cleared the way.

578. Poor Britney. Everyone is out to get her. Why should she have to be a responsible parent? Why should she be criticized for not wearing panties and flashing her crotch like a cheap ho? What's wrong with stumbling around and screwing up her own lip synch on national TV? Why shouldn't she get drunk and high every night? Who cares if she doesnt buckle up her kids properly and puts the top down on her car to exploit them to the media? When she goes anywhere the city should pay for her to have a police escort and everyone should get the hell out of her way. She is BRITNEY BITCH! She's friggin royalty!

579. Brit has been in the spotlight since the age of 14, no wonder she is having problems, she cant make a move without someone on her ass, the cop is looking for easy money, sure Brit is no angel, give her a break and leave her alone, put yourself in her place and then judge her, it is easy for you to say you would do better, but if that were true why arent you in her place, she makes better than $700,000 a month, can any of you commenters do that

580. Easy money? What the hell are you talking about? The cops were trying to help her get out of the parking lot. The cop wasn't deliberately trying to get her foot run over.

Sorry but what mind would that be. I figure it is almost totally gone at this point. I have asked before if a test has ever been done to check out what she has in those soft drink cups and the coffee cups that she is constantly sucking on while pretending to know how to drive? I also wonder if she has a depth perception problem as well, one that can be corrected by eye glasses, some with clear lens in them. The little twit needs to find out that she is not the be all end all in this world. She should consider her sons that however.

582. I agree Auntie K!

583. one has to wonder what is in the cups she's always seen drinking out of.

584. Read the article. The cop was directing Brit to turn left and she unexpectedly turned right and ran over her foot. I don't think it is hit & run though unless they can prove that Brit knew she ran over someone. She did know she ran over the pap the last time though and still left the scene of the accident. She just lucked out when the pap didn't file a complaint against her.

585. Ok, guys - do you see what has happened? tmz hasn't posted an "article" about Britney since this one that was posted on on 11/2/07 at 3:13 p.m. x17 has posted two articles since then (including one which includes pictures of her with her children and "the monitor"). Since we all seem to need our Britney fixes, we all keep posting to this last article written about her - I think this will be post #560 (and that doesn't count the ones that tmzurd has removed). And, as we know, this is by far NOT the most titillating article that tmz has posted deserving this many comments.

So, what's up? (1) Has tmz been court ordered to stop harrassing Britney? I think not. (2) Has tmz finally decided to give the girl a break and stop reporting on her every move as most(?) of the people on this board have requested? I think not. (3) Has Britney decided to say home and out of the limelight? I certainly hope so. (4) Is tmzurd proving to us that we really DON'T want them to stop posting about Britney?????

What do you think? I doubt it is the looming writer's strike (enough said there). So, my conclusion is that for all of us yelling to LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE, "we" really don't want tmz or any other site to leave her alone. Therefore, we can all hold ourselves responsible (including me), along with tmz, for pushing this girl to her final limit. I know that I'm ashamed of myself - how about all of you? Just wondering.
