According to TMZ, rapper Nate Dogg recently pleaded guilty to battery and trespass, resulting in: (1) three years informal probation; (2) required completion of a domestic violence treatment program; and (3) a prohibition on owning a weapon for ten years.

In 2006, Senor Dogg allegedly: (1) broke into a Huntington Beach home where his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend and her mother lived; (2) punched the boyfriend in the face; and (3) left.

Is Popsquire the only one who thinks that a punch-and-run should be a new classification of crime?  If you hit someone and run without giving the person the chance to defend him/herself, you deserve more punishment!

As you ponder writing your state legislature to demand this new legislation, please enjoy this Janet Jackson classic, “Runaway.”

According to the AP, Los Angeles police arrested a man claiming to be a freelance reporter for trespassing, because he allegedly blocked Brad Pitt’s and Angelina Jolie’s driveway in Los Angeles.

Popsquire’s perspective…

In addition to trespass, Popsquire wonders whether this “freelance reporter” might have violated California’s anti-paparazzi laws if he had not been arrested.

As a refresher, California has a so-called “anti-paparazzi statute.” This statute generally stops paparazzi from trespassing on celebs’ property to obtain pictures or from using technology to get pictures without physically entering the property.
