Jay-Z & Others Under Investigation For Unauthorized Police Escorts
Posted on 20. May, 2011 by Cara in Jay-Z, P. Diddy
Several celebrities, including rap superstar Jay-Z, have been named in an internal investigation by the Washington D.C. Police Department for being given police escorts from D.C. police officers. Other notable names under investigation include Charlie Sheen and Bill Gates. Police department protocol stipulates that private citizens are not allowed to receive police escorts.
Jay-Z received an escort on March 3rd, 2010 after he performed at the Verizon Center. Earlier in the day, he had visited the White House. According to reports, the rapper was picked up from Dulles Airport and was given a police escort between the hours of 3 p.m. and 1 a.m. the next day. However, he did reimburse the city in the amount of $1,114.20.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier explained that escorts by police are only supposed to be used for top U.S. and foreign officials, “It’s president, vice president, visiting heads of state, mayor and others if there’s a public safety issue.” One of the D.C. council members, Phil Mendelson, is debating whether or not to hold a hearing over the issue because of conflicting reports on why private citizens were given police escorts.
This issue first came to national attention several weeks ago when Diddy was given a police escort from a performance venue in New York City to a club in New Jersey. He was originally supposed to take a helicopter, but they never received clearance to take off. Police felt there was an issue with crowd control and the safety of both the artist and a growing crowd and deemed it acceptable to give the rapper a police escort. Since the incident, the NYPD has begun an investigation into the matter citing the same reason as the D.C. Police – private citizens, even celebrities, are not entitled to police escorts.
What do you think? Should any citizen, a celebrity like Diddy or Jay-Z or not, be allowed to receive a police escort if his or her safety is at stake?
