LAPD chief William Bratton has the secret to solving the "paparazzi problem" in Los Angeles -- lock Britney Spears in her house! Who would be against that?
The chief was on with Patt Morrison on 89.3 KPCC-FM radio Wednesday when he was asked about proposed legislation designed to curb the paparazzi. Check out his response.

1. That would keep the paps away. But then she wouldn't get her fix for the day! Sheesh.

3. LAPD chief William Bratton = COMMIE BASTARD!!! He has no right to tell someone (not under house arrest) not to leave their house.
Get out there and control the paps. In other words, do your job you lazy bastard.

Stay home Brit-Brit, or move to China...far enough from the USA.

7. This guy does make sense. Sure, Brit is free to go anywhere, but her jackass behavior invites the paps. If she would stay at home for a while, the public would eventually become less interested in her...and she is such a publicity pig that she couldn't stand that.

8. Yes, Brit should stay home (as she has been lately). No, this POLICE CHIEF should not be speaking about people that he took the oath to protect. His comments are dishonorable. If he does not agree with the pending legislation, he could have been more professional in his comments. I am not impressed with him to stoop low, along with the bad judgement of the PEOPLE HIS IS PAID TO PROTECT (from themselves in some cases).

9. As of late, Britney has been as under raps as possible. . I believe thanks to her dad. . an it is still a nut house where ever she goes. People can't stay home, they have to have a life. . shop, dine out, doctors, workout, visit people, etc. . She is just a person and should be left alone when she is doing normal daily stuff. I hate that I am following the story. . but I would be happy we did not have a story to follow anymore. Maybe a press release or two from reliable sources, pics/videos form sightings at celebrity galas, but that should be enough. Let daily stuff be left alone.

10. They're both right - the Paps are out of control, and Brit encourages it. The paps literally swarm people, getting up in their faces, standing in front of their cars, chasing them, etc. There needs to be some distance, a buffer zone. That said, Brit and Paris and a few others get out there and intentionally stir the pot - heck, Brit, left on her own, will drive around endlessly for hours just playing with the paps. So yes, Brit needs to stay home and out of the paps faces. When she does go out on legit outings, she needs to provide her own bodyguards and the paps need to stand back and quit creating a hazard by swarming her. The paps do need to be barred from staking out people's homes. None of Brit's neighbors asked for that mess.

11. You tell em Brat!
Posted at 1:03PM on Feb 22nd 2008 by AMEN!
12. I saw the paps mob Brd and angelina the other day to the point they couldnt move so I guess evey one who gets mobbed is at fault according to this fathead.

13. WHAT A JERK!!!!!! HE HAS NO RIGHT TO TELL SOMEONE TO STAY HOME. All Celebs deserve to have a life outside there home. The only reason was these guys are after her is because she is going through some hard times. It's not here fault she has these issues . Just like Delta Burke, it's not her fault she is battling with depresstion. No one asks for these thing to happen. GIVE HER A BREAK PEOPLE AND LET HER GET BETTER IN PRIVATE!!!!!!

14. What has she done lately? Gone out to eat a couple of times? Gone shopping with her mom? She doesn't have to stay in her house 24/7! That guy is an ass.
