Taking pictures making and exploiting people for their dignity and providing photos just for the buck. The invasion of ones privacy is against the constitution. What will it take to legally stop paparazzi invading the privacy of others and really attempting to destroy their reputation, and their lives.
Answers:
As long as there are silly people paying money for those useless photos and publications, paparazzi will never stop.
People need to stop buying "Star" and "Enquirer" or watching "Inside Edition". That is what fuels it.
First the Constitution only prevents government intrusion into invasion of privacy not private figures doing it to each other...and I am sorry it is part of the life...if a person is out and about they are fair game.you want to know how to stop paparazzi? Put them out of business...there will be no need for paparazzi without fans drooling over the pictures they take...if you refuse to look at their pictures and buy the tabloids then they will be out of work...but alas out society craves this and it will never stop..Now when paparazzi invade privacy of individuals they are liable to invasion of privacy claims...but this is when they are on their own private property not when they are walking down the street.
These shutter bugs are probably not after you, I know they aren't after me. I am not a celebrity. The celebrity is in demand, and the more human they can be depicted the more money there is in the photo. As long as they are in public the Supreme Court has said they are fair game. If they try to get private shots the shoe is on the other foot and they can be arrested and prosecuted as stalkers.
Just like drugs, if there were no demand for the photos, there wouldn't be a bunch of flashes go off every time one left their limo.
I just wonder how long it would be before the celebrities started whining if the paparazzi left them alone?
The papparazi are annoying, however, thier actions are completely legal. They take photos of celebrities in public places,so there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. This applies to everyone, nobody can logically have an expectation of privacy in a public place.
Secondly, since they are celebrities, they are considered public figures and the same rules of privacy that ordinary people expect doesn't always apply to them either.
As public figures, which they choose to be freely, they can reasonably expect to be subject to certain amounts riddicule and public humiliation, it comes with the territory.
Don't hate the players, hate the game.
They really don't invade anyone's privacy. Most of the paparazzi photographers know the laws well and work inside the constraints of the law. That doens't mean they don't come awfully close to the line, but they rarely ever cross it. If you want more privacy, then don't conduct your business out in the open.
Unfortunatelly the paparazzi (pests) exploits loopholes in the law, about who is a "public figure" and what is free press.
