    I never really like Kevin Federline, but after watching this video I feel sorry that he has to deal with these low lives. Same goes for all the other celebs. There needs to be a law to get rid of these stupid paparazzi.

    They can make tons of money just off one great photo. Something drastic has to happen in order for their to be any sort of change the way these people act. I say just start taking photos of the paparazzi's and put them up on the internet.

    So, he was driving wreckless with the children in the car? All to prevent a picture from being taken?

    The media is getting out of control with this kind of stuff.

    I saw somewhere that Brittany Spears ran over someone's foot because they were crouding her car and I was kind of glad that one of them paid for all the harrassment. I'm really surprised nothing really bad has happened yet the way they swarm people.

    I saw that vid, and to tell you the truth it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Britney was going about 2 mph, and the moron manages to get his foot run over. Then they start taking more pictures of her while claiming she's a reckless driver.

    sometimes, come to think about it, certain celebrities asked for this. they were dying for attention by doing all sorta nonsense. take Paris Hilton and Lindsay for this.

    however, old time celebrities like Keanu Reeves, Jon Bon Jovi, don't seem to get into trouble, and paparazi seems to leave them alone.

    The kids were in his bodyguard's car in front of him. He was blocking them from passing him and getting a shot of his kids.

    an article I read stated that Kevin was the driver of the pickup truck, and he was actually following (trying to keep distance) from the vehicle that his kids were travelling in. He was just swerving around so that the papparazzi couldnt get around him to the vehicle up front with the kids.

    It appears that the industry is just a bunch of whores. Guys in suits pay big bucks to anyone who gets the right shot. So now anyone that can afford a video cam or digital camera with time on their hands can stalk these celebrities. I've noticed that there is literally some group of young photogs filming these people 24-7. I've also notice how they break traffic laws and try and create part of the stories by trying to cause accidents or contacting the police when someone has done something just to get the picture of them getting busted.

    I'm usually opposed to taxes, but I think these "Paparazzi" should be required to pay heavy licensing fees, be bonded / insured, and be required to keep a safe distance. If they had a state by state licensing fee of, say, $5k per year, then some of these clowns would disappear and it might become safer. The money could go to the police depts. to enforce that only licensed "Paparazzi" are shooting. They require a license in just about every other industry, why not one that might actually do some good?

    I agree this has to stop.

    Good thought but how do you distinguish between a licensed photographer and an individual taking a photo of a notable (celebrity, politician) person - whether their intent is to sell said photo? I don't think that will work. The public feeds off the frenzy. However, the frenzy primarily comes from the fallen stars and their misfortune. And that sells. Good-doers don't sell papers/mags.

    my two cents
