"This is an outrage!"

Officers arrived at the Closer building in Paris at 10am, with detectives confirming they were looking for information ‘which might lead to the identity’ of the paparazzi responsible.
The investigation was launched by prosecutors in the French capital on Monday, with William and Kate later winning an injunction preventing further distribution of the images.
But Christophe Bigot , a barrister who specialises in media law, immediately questioned the legality of the raid – suggesting that it had solely been authoritised because members of the Royal Family were involved.
Journalistic sources – who include photographers – are strictly protected by French law which was tightened up as recently as two years ago.
"A law of January 2, 2010 protects the confidentiality of sources, as do numerous decisions of the European Court of Human Rights," said Mr Bigot, in an interview with Le Figaro. "In the case of William and Kate, I do not see how a prosecutor could justify a search of Closer."
On Tuesday, judges ordered Closer to hand over all files containing the images to representatives of the couple within 24 hours, but there was no order to name the photographer.
Referring to today’s raid, a police source said : "The aim is to seize any information which might lead to the identity of the photographer."

We can cross off the Tower of London on the tour. We’ve seen all the crown jewels!

Barney Frank is bigger.
IBTC?
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
It was a tale of two titties.”
Charles you Dickens you
She is a member of the IBTC.
I suspect Kate and William were working on producing an heir when they were photographed. Imagine if those pictures came out.
Apparently his actions have gotten him in dutch.
I guess thats of interest to some
LOL. Been a while since I've seen that.
!!!!!!!
Trending prematurely towards flapjacks, too. I see implants in her future.
For somebody with no power, she does a hell of a job monopolizing a lot of the British wealth and influencing British thinking.
It could also be that the French are a little sensitive given what happened to Diana.
Kim Kardashian is unaccountably rich and clogs a good many minds over here, but no one confuses her for the president.
I think the royals live off their own income by now, rather than taxez, though of course it is based on their having had the swords back when. She gas a certain power from her wealth and fame, but no political power. Only “sovereignty,” like with “we the people” over here. You are one of the people. Try asserting your will in politics. You’ll get as far as her, which is nowhere.
Poor Queen Elizabeth. She probably thought her prior "annus horribilus" was over and done with. With her unpredictable family, no wonder she hangs on to the Throne like a bitter clinger.

So was Brezhnev.
Are the people of England protesting outside of the French Embassy?
They stated they had many other pictures not released. That could be the main reason for the raid!
