California wants to ban picture-taking of privileged adults and children

Otherwise known as actors. Thin edge, of the leftist-totalitarian wedge. Little by little, as new laws are constantly enacted to restrict freedoms, Americans will feel it. Why should anybody's kids have to be targeted by predatory photographers? The actresses/actors might be fair game, but their kids? There is nothing news worthy with shots of those kids going to school. There is no need for the public to see the latest baby picture. This has nothing to do with freedoms of photo journalists, these paparazzi are opportunist predators. http://www.sacbee.com/2013/08/13/564...for-calif.html -- Regards, Savageduck |

It's not about photographers. It's about giving a small minority a power of censorship over the public, where that small minority freely choose to put themselves before the public for very substantial gain. |

It's not about the gliteratti or the stars. It's about the papparazi hounding their kids. Everyone deserves some privacy, especially children. In any case censorship and limitations on what you are allowed to look at has always existed. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

The actresses/actors might be fair game, but their kids? Sienna Miller: "You know, it's really terrifying. It's terrifying not only for the person experiencing it but for friends who are with me, family members who are with me, for the people driving the cars. "I would often find myself -- I was 21 -- at midnight running down a dark street on my own with ten big men chasing me and the fact that they had cameras in their hands meant that that was legal, but if you take away the cameras, what have you got? You've got a pack of men chasing a woman and obviously that's a very intimidating situation to be in." Andrew. |

It's like saying a doctor probed you, but if he wasn't a doctor, it wouldn't be ok. NO KIDDING! She didn't say 'OK'. She said 'legal' and that's an entirely different matter. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
