It is my sense that the activities of the paparazzi have grown more and more aggressive over the last couple years.

There is great concern that someone is going to get hurt. It’s not just the celebrities themselves, but it’s third parties and often children, who could be within the number of those who are likely...

A crime is a crime and we are going to enforce the law.

The ranks have swelled. It’s like the gold rush of 1849. The photo opportunities are here. We have everyone from probationers to ex-gang members to expatriates from Europe all behind the shutter of a camera.

We considered two charges, felony stalking and assault with a deadly weapon, and found there was insufficient evidence on both.

In certain, specific incidents, the paparazzi have crossed the line into criminal behavior.
