LAPD Brass to Cops: You Aren't the Paparazzi!

TMZ has learned that a message was sent down loud and clear today to LAPD cops working the Britney court beat -- no photos allowed!
Britney Spears
Law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ that an order came down to officers at the courthouse today, mandating that no cell phone photos or video of the popwreck or the ensuing chaos be taken. This command is a direct result, we're told, of reports that last week during Britney's meltdown at her home, several members of law enforcement were seen snapping pics.

91. I understand Britney is scared to death and runs away. It is a logic reaction for a person mentally that fragile as she is. The courthearing concerning her boys is far more demanding then having paparazzi all over her in other situations. She has to be focused and calm but with such an enormous circus infront of the courthouse it is logic she can not handle anything right even if she came to try. The paparazzi should have given her some space.

I can not belive that the american law (the same goes for Europe of course) allowes this kind of harrasment and stalking of a person. It seems all that is perfectly ok as soon as a person is famous and rich. Suddenly there are no limits for respecting a persons space and privacy. I look forward to the day a restraining order is given to paprazzies that forces them to stay away from a celebrity and respect a certain distance so the person stalked by them can live some kind of normal life.

Why do you all think Britney went into this little church. I belive she looked for comfort, protection, she was desprate to find peace and gods help. This is so tragic and you are nothing but ironic. Now she has learned that the paparazzi do not even give her space in a church, do not even let her find some peace with god. She must belive that she is not worth the suport of anyone she turnes to. I strongly feel Britney will take her life soon and EVERYONE of you who have hunted her through the years is responsible for her death the day it will happen. Blaming her mum as the main suspect of destroying Britney is a cheap way to put the focus on someone else.

I agree with her mum. All those who realy have a heart can only pray for her right now.

92. She must have really been acting insane for the police to be taking pictures of her. When is she going to ask somebody for help? She obviously is too crazy to help herself, and unfortunately the only people around her right now are just enablers.

93.
In this country, when a woman can't keep custody of her kids from a pothead husband, when she has all of the money needed for the best lawyers, then something is fishy. For christ sake, this is the country where OJ got off. In this situation, the only way you can loose your kids is if you want to loose your kids.

95. When I worked at the COP SHOP most with 15 yrs or move made about 85k per year, plus a massive benefit package that covered their entire family with health insurance. Not to mention 90% of regular pay as retirement.

DONT' TELL ME THE COPS DON'T MAKE ENOUGH not to STEAL photos of a person without permission.

96. If ceders did her blood work and she was clear of all drugs........ wouldn't that mean her body guard who said she was on drugs and had overdosed before was lying................ I really wonder, if kevin had something to do with his lying to the media..........

If she has post partum depression/ anxiety... she could get her kids back, I think in the future...........

pS the cops who took photos should be suspended..........

97. It does not matter what Police officers and paramedics, etc make per year. They chose to do the job. They need to do there jobs professionally and with proper ethics. They are at the situation to assess danger, protect and to serve. Not to profit and exploit someone. Think about it, what if the situation was very dangerous and because it is a high profile celebrity they focus on getting a picture instead of the situation .....anything could happen. It can be argued that it is a violation of the persons privacy in there own private dwelling to do this. Unless they have express authorization from the person in the pictures, any civil servant stooping to this level should be fired immediatly, without there nice benefit packages.

99. OH MY LORD #89 So very True !!!

you forgot.. going to NYC fashion week of feb 2007 just before she shaved head and stripped with go-go girls upstairs at some NY club. started wearing those nasty nasty fishnets with huge holes in them becuase of the go-go girls outfits.jayden was only 5 months and had back then chubby and skinny nanny,just before head shave she also was found at some hotel poolside with noo credit cards shaving her legs and met 2 girls who lent her a swimsuit, a few months later they sold it on ebay for 600 bux,she had tractor sex with jr rottem spring of 07, she messed with howie day in rehab and after, got topless with a back up dancer last fall in a penthouse pool,kfeds been raising them fulltime since she went to rehab in march 07. she has only seen them on weekends since and now with court appointed monitors and as of today it is unknow when she will ever see them again until they got to court feb 19th and and in april. she barely knows jayden. just thought i would mention a few others.. we cant forget issac cohen in january 2007 and now adnan the married pap as well as sam osama lufti who fetches her drugs in fancy hotels where security is tighter for the rich and less cops, rich drug sellers loiter expensive hotels as its safer from the law. thank god sean and jayden are at least grounded with one parent. i am sure they love their father, they have a half brother and half sister to play with occassionly. britney needs mental help. end of story. OOOPS i forgot the OK shoot meltdown where she cleaned up londons poop with a chanel dress, stole a dress from the too, hit and runs summer of 07, music awards meltdown, falling like she was drunk and high. I am sure there is more. ALl since she filed for divorce in nov 2006 just coincidently one week after her husband launches his cd on halloween 2006 so he cant make any money to also provide and contribute finacially to his children. she ruined his cd sales for filing divorce when she did on purpose, asked kfed to marry her twice when he said NO the first time she asked. I am sure there is still more.. off to sleep.

100. "HA" your comments lacky any real content other than sour seepage from your rotting soul. YOu obviously come here to attack people rather than to state topic related opinions and stick to that. If you continue to launch attacks against me, just know i won't be replying any further.

You're just a messed up hater who comes here to release your anger.. I GET IT.

101. BFD, your argument seems to have gone away, so whatever! It is always amusing to see people validate themselves in such a manner. You are not the only one her with a background either. Wow, you had a job in your life. how amazing.
