Nicole Kidman Hates Spies

In a setback earlier this week, the person accused of planting a bug at Nicole Kidman’s Sydney Australia home, won an appeal and will not have to provide a DNA sample for the local police.

One of Kidman’s security guards spotted the device near a sidewalk
outside the Oscar-winning actress’ lavish harbor-front mansion in
January.

Police later alleged that celebrity photographer Jamie Fawcett, 43,
had been captured on security camera footage near the house around the
time the bug was planted.

The Waverley Local Court in April ordered Fawcett to supply police with
a DNA sample to be compared with samples allegedly found on the
listening device.

Apparently, Jamie forgot the first rule of espionage: Don’t pleasure yourself on the bug you’re planting at the target’s house, wait till you get back to the van. Its pretty simple to follow.Here’s a good way to find out where you’re going wrong. Right after you connect the audio leads to the junction box, STOP. Now look down. If your pants are down and your right hand is in your underwear, then you fucked up. It happens to best of us. (Sorry about your window Mindy).

The interesting thing about this article is how awesome Australian laws are. Even though a bug was planted by the photographer on camera,

"There was no evidence before the court that the device was ever
used or caused to be used to record or listen to a conversation," Judge
Michael Grove said in his judgment.

He also ordered Detective Malcolm Nimmo, who brought the matter to court, to pay Fawcett’s legal costs.

That just shows you how much better the legal system is in Australia. If I weren’t the subject of litigation right now I would tell that hard-nosed, gumshoe at the 27th Precinct to kiss my ass.
