Paparazzi anticipating a veritable royal feast of photographs when Prince William and his wife, Catherine, visit Los Angeles may be in for a potential jail stay if they take shots in certain areas. The Los Angeles Police Department has secured no-trespassing letters from residents who live around the June Street residence where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will spend the night. Those who live around the British consul general's residence have also signed keep-away orders, giving officers free rein to arrest paparazzi if they try to capture images of the royals while on private property.
