Most places report this as "paparazzi", but frankly I hate the word and have this deep rooted idea that people only say it to be cool....lol
Anyways, a lot of overzealous reporters have been arrested for chasing Brit down in the street while trying to use car cover. Four reporters have been arrested for reckless driving while chasing Britney Spears’ car in the San Fernando Valley.
Los Angeles police Lt. Mario Munoz said officers observed several cars following a white Mercedes-Benz around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday in Mission Hills.
The cars were following Spears’ car too closely and traveling at unsafe speed. They also made several unsafe lane changes, authorities said.
Sounds like rush hour traffic to me. I do this all the time. I get away with it because I'm not actually trying to chase a celebrity. I can't imagine why I woudl anyways unless they flipped me off or something ;P.
