Yes, LA and now even New York City has gotten so bad with groups of Paps following the celebs every move. Car chases are the norm. It use to be that the Paps tailed a celebrity to see where they were going in hopes that a few good photos were gotten. Celebs would complain about the Paps jumping out from the bushes. No more. There is no hiding. Today, the Paparazzi practice hard core "In your face journalism."
In LA it sometimes looks like a snake wiggling around with all the following Pap vehicles going in and out of traffic trying to weave around "slow" vehicles as they chase a celebrity. It is very dangerous. And some of the more stupid celebrities would rather put their lives at risk and try to out run the Pap vehicles. I think the average celebrity is stupid for doing such things.
So it comes as no surprise that Lindsays lawyers are trying to get a restraining order against Paps from chasing Lindsay. Whether it will work we will see. I can bet you for sure many a celebrity and their lawyers are eagerly watching too.
