Paparazzi are out of control. Most of them are criminals, with violent backgrounds. The more aggressive they are the more likely that they will be hired.

Many of them are ex gang members, registered sex offenders, people that have been arrest and convicted of assault and/or attempted murder.

But they are still allowed to "stalk" celebrities. They put them in serious danger. Its more than just the fact that they have criminal backgrounds, they are allowed to chase celebrities in cars, hide in trees and bushes just to take a picture. They spy through windows and sometimes even go onto private property just to get a picture.

Making paparazzi get credentialed will at least keep the violent away. All press other than the paparazzi have to be credentialed because entertainment is exempt from this. To become credentialed they would have to pass a background check, be finger printed and all. Which makes it so they can be held accountable for their actions. Paparazzi now don't even have to use a real name.

Since they are not only around celebrities they are around the celebrities children and families, and also "normal" people, there should be some insurance that they are not dangerous. They have caused celebrities to get into car accidents with innocent bystanders and pushed children to get pictures.

A change needs to be made. Yes I know there is freedom of the press but if all other press has to be credentialed why not make the paparazzi do the same?

All celebrities have a right to maintain their humanity. They are humans as well. They dhould be known for ONLY their talent and not what it is they do every second of every day. Its killing them!!!

Everyone needs privacy and you cant get it with these papparazzi. They should be a point where to much is enough, and that point has come.

Yeah there's a thin line between taking someone's picture and taking someone's picture on their front door. Bring back reporters from the 50's!!!!!!!!

I completely agree. I think when paparazzi cross people's boundaries or try to get the celebs angry to get a reaction is just wrong. I understand that they are doing their job, but if the celeb is asking nicely to go away because you really got your camera shot, then they should just go, but no they have to stay and get them mad and so on. The paparazzi need to understand that celebs are people. People with issues just like the rest of us. They don`t need a flashing camera in their faces everyday; asking about their personal life or trying to egg them on with nasty comments...The paparazzi should be able to do what they do, but only if they are credentialed, ONLY.
