Cop could have offered her to join an evasive driver training course, or a bit more material assistance than... "It's not my job". Cop-out.

Lesson learned.

Everyone has a good point and they're right celebrity status doesn't give her any extra privileges but if that was a regular woman being chased by a photographer and then the photographer is interfering with the traffic stop it would have been a different story. Like I said once you cross that line into celebrity status stalking is a very gray area.

I could not imagine having to deal with this 24/7. There must have been 12 photographers there.

material assistance? She was speeding or something and claimed she thought a stalker was following her and she was trying to stay away from that guy.
Did she describe that guy or the vehicle he was driving? Details on how far, and how long she was being stalked.


He is not her personal bodyguard which she could easily afford with a net worth of 400 million. He advised her to file a report. If she pulled into the police station I'm sure "that guy" would not follow her in there.

Why wouldn't he? What makes you think he wouldn't?

Because stalkers/antagonizes dont generally follow their victims into police stations where they would likely be arrested.

They aren't committing any crime. The law unfortunately makes it perfectly legal for them to do what they do, as long as it is within public spaces. The police station is a public building.

Ok. You follow some hysteric woman into a police station with her crying and telling them she fears for her life and see how far you get.
Come back and tell us what happened.

I mean, he'd get kicked out eventually, sure, but not before getting inside and snapping some awesome tabloid-worthy shots.
And he wouldn't get arrested, unless he remained inside after being told to leave.

Look no further than all of those stupid "police auditors" on Youtube, who make a living off of antagonizing random people, including the police, in public places.

She isn't crying because she got pulled over. She's losing her shyt from constantly being followed and videoed/photographed. Unless you've been in her situation, then none of you can understand. Could you imagine EVERYTIME you left your house you were accosted by paps??? I'm sure you'd be over it as well and at some point, break down over it.

Cop gave a warning, he was stopping her for speeding 20 MPH over. She was upset about the paparazzi not the cop stop.
