Fame PicturesLooks like Britney isn't the only Spears who can make waves with Los Angeles cops.
While a spokesman for the Los Angeles International Airport Police said last week that heads would not roll after uniformed officers ushered a paparazzi-fooling fake Jamie Lynn Spears through the terminal, it now looks like, at the very least, some wrists may get slapped.
"It is not the policy or practice for Airport Police to provide a celebrity decoy," LAX spokesman Albert Rodriguez tells E! News. "Airport Police has opened an internal investigation of the incident and will take appropriate administrative action if warranted.
"Los Angeles World Airports policy prohibits special courtesies to be provided to celebrities, unless extenuating circumstances such threat of danger to the individual or the safety of the general public are involved."
Things got started when Spears, her new daughter, Maddie, and mother Lynne were escorted by officers directly off their Delta flight without even entering the airport terminal.
"Jamie Lynn left the airport via the tarmac because of the baby. It would never ever have happened if she didn't have the baby," a police source tells E! News.
While the family was safely whisked away, paparazzi in turn focused their attention on another young woman accompanined by several police officers. The police walked the camera-hounded girl out of the terminal, imploring shutterbugs to back both up and off, fueling the photographers' belief that the escortee was a V.I.P.
"A few of the guys didn't clear what they were doing with all the supervisors and they may get in trouble," the source adds.
Last week, LAX Police Sgt. Jim Holcomb told E! News that the paparazzi were to blame for the case of mistaken identity, not the officers.
"We've never used the word 'decoy,' so I don't know where that came from," he said.
