November 18, 2012 - 12:29 pm
A judge in the Justin Bieber car chase case just ruled the California paparazzi law — which prohibits photogs from driving recklessly while trying to shoot pictures of celebs — is unconstitutional. The judge was hearing the case of the photog who chased Justin in July on an L.A. freeway. Witnesses say the cars were traveling at speeds approaching 100 mph. The judge tossed out 2 of the 4 criminal counts against photog Paul Raef. The counts that were tossed were based on the new paparazzi law. The judge concluded the law was "problematic" and suppressed legitimate activities by the media.
