Los Angeles Cracking Down On Pesky Paparazzi

CBS News reports sheriff’s deputies arrested four photographers in two separate incidents in the past week as the paparazzi waited for Britney Spears at a salon and Lindsay Lohan outside a club. L.A. sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said that the move is after the public’s request to stop the photographer madness. “Basically, what were getting are calls of complaints, people that have to swerve their vehicles, people that are out for a simple with their dog, that they can’t navigate the sidewalk because there’s 50-60 people, they have cameras. They’re moving about, they’re jostling,” Whitmore explained.

TMZ.com’s Harvey Levin admitted two of their snappers were among the ones arrested and, “We were told by someone in the sheriff’s department that this was by way of example – they wanted to teach people a lesson.” Read more.
