New California law aims to discourage paparazzi

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Paparazzi who commit assault in pursuit of celebrity photographs could be hit with hefty civil penalties in California under a new law.
The law would allow victims of paparazzi assaults to file lawsuits seeking up to three times the damages they suffered. The plaintiffs could also ask for punitive damages and a court order requiring the photographer to give up any income earned from the pictures involved.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the bill Friday. It goes into effect Jan. 1.
Several celebrities have been involved in accidents while being pursued by photographers. In May, actress Lindsay Lohan suffered cuts and bruises after a photographer rammed his van into her car. The photographer faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
"This bill hits the paparazzi where it hurts — the wallet," said Assemblywoman Cindy Montanez who proposed the measure. "Money is their motivation, so taking away their money will be the solution."
She said the bill would protect Hollywood stars as well as bystanders who might be injured in chases involving paparazzi.
Actress Scarlett Johansson had a minor crash in August while being followed by paparazzi, and actress Reese Witherspoon said she was chased by photographers who she believed were trying to force her from the road in April. No charges or injuries resulted from either case.
Schwarzenegger was involved in an incident in 1998 involving paparazzi who used their cars to surround the then-actor's vehicle as he and his wife picked up their child from school.
