Britney Spears defended photographs showing the pop star driving with her infant son on her lap, saying she was dodging the paparazzi.  Photo's were taken this weekend showing Britney driving around with her baby on her lap.

"I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger," Spears said in a statement released late Monday. "I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us," she said. "I love my child and would do anything to protect him."

"Unless a deputy saw the violation, there's nothing we can do," local authorities stated. "We don't even know if this took place in our jurisdiction."
