Cops Swoop in after photogs chase Paris Jackson

[Mr. Authority]

Two paparazzi were handcuffed by cops after allegedly blowing red lights while chasing Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson ... TMZ has learned.

The photogs -- not TMZ -- were allegedly chasing the car Paris was in, blowing red lights and driving recklessly, trying to get a shot of MJ's daughter.

We're told the cops are not going to arrest the photogs because police didn't see the chase. In fact, they will not even be cited for the same reason.

Instead, we're told a crime report will be written and forwarded to the L.A. City Attorney for possible prosecution.

UPDATE: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, cops have decided NOT to refer the incident to prosecutors due to insufficient evidence ... but Paris is still free to sue in civil court.

Pathetic. They need to leave her alone.

Ummm since when can police only arrest people for crimes committed in the presence of the police?? Probably 50-60% of crimes (and if you exclude drug cases it's more like 80%!) are committed outside of police presence and those cases are still prosecuted.

And in most civilian on civilian cases the only "evidence" is what they testify to in court.

I understand not prosecuting the case but those are weird excuses.

Don't tell that to the Casey Anthony jury.
