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."

586. To: #564, All The Answers: Duh, watch the video!! (1) That will confirm the FACT that was not only the deptuy who got her foot run over also bumped into a fellow officer who was also standing to close to the car just before she got her foot run over. LAPD - crowd control, PLEASE - your deputies/officers were getting crushed by the paps - who is in charge in these situtions in LA - the LAPD or the paps????? (2) TMZ is partly responsibe for her behavior or the perception of her behavior b/c they are constantly in her face with camers for every move she makes AND then they print misleading headlines which causes crazed posters to go nuts!

587. C'mon people give the girl a break. She's had enough problems and most of them lately have been because of the press. They mob her every time she steps outside. With that kind of mob surrounding her all the time, how could she possibly know she had run over anyone's foot? The press needs to back off and let her get her life together!

588. this silly bitch will not be happy until she's safely tucked into a body bag! somewhere there is a blank toe-tag just waiting for old Brit. What a shame! Talented (if her clap-trap music is your thing), attactive (if your into trailer-trash boff meat),and rich (but not for long at the rate she spends her dough). "Moma's, don't let yer daughter 's grow up to be Britneys"! And puleeze, tell her to keep her draws on in public!

589. Brit is awsome = she commands more attention than anyone except for Princess Di. CA and the rest of the states need to wake up and make some laws about blocking the streets and sidewalks and stalking (waiting outside) for pics. I thought that was called loitering but nothing is ever done?

591. I am not sure why Brittney has not driven her car into the swarms constantly around her car. If you don't want to get run over then get away from her car.

593. I find Brit to be a disaster and a waste of film but I think this whole OMG She ren over my foot too crap to be rediculous. MOVE BACK FROM THE VEHICLE DUMBASS!!! Didn't your momma ever teach you to look out for cars? I try to give myself more than ample room to let a car pass by rather than risk serious bodily injury for a shot of Brit with what? Another Starbucks! SOOO WHAT!!! SEEN IT!!! BORED BY IT !!! Find something more interesting to shoot. I'm sick of the same shots of Brit over and over. Be a little unique, and find something with a little soul to put on film, not the same ol' same ol'. Surprise us.

594. I have to say I defend britney alot. But I am thinking she should hire a driver instead of driving herself. It is so caotic and crazy when she does. SO Britney hire yourself a driver and a personal assitant to do your unimportant errands. This way you will save a few headaches for yourself.

596. Well, I'll be honest, I attribute a lot of the accidents, etc to crazy paparrazi idiots, including TMZ.

These clowns relentlessly pursue these people giving them no peace at all. Everyone needs some time to themselves.

I really think that the parazzi, the sleezy tabloids, sleezy celeb websites, etc. do everything that they can to try and get the celebs to mistep, etc.

I really don't see how the celebs keep there cool like they do. I would be prone to give the stupid paparazzi, etc. a good ole fashioned a--- whoppin. That's what most of them need.

These clowns are responsible for deaths, mishaps, etc.

598. I can't imagine how this girl doesn't run over 100 photographers a day. I have a hard enough time backing out of my driveway, I can't even IMAGINE trying to back out trying to avoid hitting people throwing themselves on my car.....Britt gets an A+
