Don't Piss Off the Celebs

So the Secret Service can't find Osama bin Laden, and the police can't find all those missing kids or the guy that stole your car, but they can sure as hell track down photos that some innocent citizen took of a celebrity.

WESTFIELD, Mass. - Police in this western Massachusetts town say they have seized a digital camera with images of celebrity couple
Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie in Africa for an investigation by Los Angeles authorities.


Local police, accompanied by state police and
Secret Service officers, went to the Westfield home of William Keys on Tuesday to recover a digital camera's memory stick after three photos that appeared on the Internet were tracked to Keys, police said Friday. Full story.

So did the people steal the camera? Ok, that's a crime. But if it had been my camera and the pictures were of me would the damn Secret Service be called out to find the criminals?

I doubt it. The rich and powerful have different police and different laws than you and I.
