Jay-Z, Taylor Swift Named in D.C. Investigation on Police Escorts

Big pimpin' has gotten
Jay-Z into some trouble. Much like his pal
Diddy did in New York City before him, Jigga man's name showed up on Washington D.C. police records --
dug up by the Associated Press -- for the use of unauthorized police escorts.
Jay-Z, Bill Gates,
Taylor Swift and
Charlie Sheen are among the celebrities on the list, which mostly includes entertainers and sports teams. The investigation was initiated after Sheen received a high-speed police escort in April, following a performance at D.C.'s DAR Constitution Hall.
The honor -- only allowed for the president, vice-president or those who require "extra-ordinary protective measures,"
according to D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier -- prompted Sheen to tweet a photo of the police cars and 80mph speedometer with the message: "In car with Police escort in front and rear! Driving like someone's about to deliver a baby! Cop car lights (hash)Spinning!" His promoter later reimbursed the city for $445.68.
Jay-Z received the escort on March 3, 2010, the same day he performed at the city's Verizon Center, which was preceded by a
confirmed visit to the White House. According to the AP, Jay-Z was picked up from Dulles airport and escorted between the hours of 3PM to 1AM the next day, but reimbursed the city for $1,114.20.
The Metropolitan Police Department is paying closer attention to leasing celebrity escorts, but if there is a question of safety in transport they are not considered unlawful.
In April, the NYPD was said to be holding an investigation on the same issue, following a
police escort granted to Diddy after a concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan.

If he paid the city back what is the big deal. Maybe this is a way they can earn revenue instead of raising taxes all the time.
