TLP it; it sounds like a good trope.

You know how there's the trope Screw the Rules, I Have Money!, is there a trope where a person uses their celebrity status to get whatever they want or avoid any trouble with the Law?
Example: King of the Hill had an episode where a former Dallas Cowboys player moves into Hank's street. Despite being a horrid neighbor such as teaching Bobby fowl sportsmanship and having rowdy parties late in the night, he uses the fact he used to play for the Cowboys to avoid legal trouble with the police. Even the police tries to pin the blame on Hank when the latter tried to report to the former.
If there isn't a trope, might if I suggest it to the Trope Launch Pad as a subtrope for Screw the Rules, I Have Money!, because sometimes you don't have to be famous to be rich or vice-versa.
