Before I even get into this story from CNN.com, I just want to say that maybe its time for Britney and other attention whore stars to start footing the bill for some of the shit they cause. And yes, I said, they cause. Assistants of these celebs like Spears and Hilton call the photogs and tell them where they will be. Spears, Hiltons and attention whore celebs know these photogs by name, have them get them gas when their cars are low, park their cars when they are drunk, and in Spears case, fuck them and suck their dicks when they are horny. This makes it hard for other famous people, and photogs with class because this becomes what people think is the norm and its actually not. Some photogs have some class and are respectful, and a lot of celebs are able top avoid the everyday circus of cameras because they don't notify every photog of their next move, and show up everyday at the places the photogs know they will be. Some pop stars like Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, Diddy and Jay Z are able live lives without the camera constantly in their faces. Now bills are being passed against the photogs, the fingers are being pointed at them, and everybody is worrying about the next 'Princess Diana' like victim of this type of media aggression when they should be looking at the very celebrities that profit off of this, and are the main ones starting all the drama.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Sheriff's deputies arrested two cameramen photographing Britney Spears at a hair salon and two other photographers outside a trendy nightclub in a crackdown that follows a year of frenzied paparazzi swarms around the troubled pop star and other celebrities.
All four men were arrested for misdemeanor violations of obstructing a public walkway and released with citations, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Wednesday.
Photographers David Tonnessen and Christian Shostoe were arrested around 7:50 p.m. Tuesday in front of West Hollywood's B2V Hair Salon, where 50 paparazzi tried to get shots of Spears, Whitmore said.
The two men did not comply with deputies' requests, Whitmore said.
"They were repeatedly asked to disassemble in front of the entrances and they were obstructing traffic as well, going into the street," he said.
About 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, in front of the nearby Villa nightclub, deputies arrested photographers Christopher Gonzalez and Vagn Rauch, who were there along with 20 other photographers on the sidewalk, Whitmore said.
The celebrity news Web site TMZ.com reported that Lindsay Lohan was at the club.
Shostoe and Gonzalez, who both work for TMZ, were "fine" after the arrests, TMZ Managing Editor Harvey Levin told The Associated Press.
Levin said Shostoe was held in a sheriff's car for an hour and then released and Gonzalez was detained for six hours at the West Hollywood sheriff's station. Levin alleged that a deputy broke one of the men's cameras.
"They are a little mystified," Levin said. "These are people who are instructed not to chase, and don't. For better or worse, the Sheriff's Department wanted to make examples of them."
Attempts to contact Tonnessen and Rauch were unsuccessful.
"We've been saying for a long time that law enforcement needs to crack down, that they've closed their eyes to a lot of dangerous things happening," said Levin. "The danger is blowing lights, running people off the road. ... This was not one of those situations."
He said it was "kind of bizarre that for a while now they've been watching these chases, and this is their first stand."
