"Klaag paparazzi aan wegens samenzwering"
Alarmed by what they say is a new generation of paparazzi willing to take dangerous risks to get celebrity photos, Los Angeles law enforcement officials say they are considering a new tool: felony conspiracy charges.
Los Angeles County prosecutors have been exploring the possibility of bringing conspiracy cases against individuals or companies they believe may be orchestrating some of the riskiest photo ambushes.
"There is a very real concern that this type of behavior may constitute a danger to the victimized celebrity and others," said William S. Hodgman, head of the Los Angeles County district attorney's target crimes unit. "We are aware that vehicles are used quite often in efforts to stalk celebrities. We also are aware of numerous incidents where the celebrity and or others had children with them who were put in jeopardy."
Police and prosecutors say that escalating aggressiveness over the last two years has prompted a new look at how existing laws are applied.
