The origin of the paparazzi dates back to the late 1950s. A group of photographers took to the streets of Rome and began taking photos of cinema stars and celebs. Magazines and newspapers began to seek out these private, not staged, photos of celebrities. People and magazines paid good money for these photos and so the paparazzi grew and grew. The question however is, Should paparazzi be legal?
Over the years many celebrities have raged on paparazzi and asked it to be banned. Many believe it is an invasion of privacy. While others argue that it would go against the 1st amendment , freedom of press. While taking a few pictures may seem harmless, some instances have gone too far. One example is Linsey Lohan in 2005. She was going to make a u turn when a man rammed into her vehicle just to try and get a picture of her. The photographer was later arrested. Another incident was in 2019, A paparazzi member was running after a car that was believed to be driving around Justin bieber. The man was so focused on getting a photo that he ran into the road and was hit by a SUV and died. Another problem that has arised with paparazzi is celebrities' children being targeted. Blake lively came out and spoke about her children being stalked by the paparazzi. Many of celeberties children have been severely targeted, stalked, and had there picutres sold. While it is perfectly legal to photograph anyone, California enforced a law that made it a misdemeanor to photograph celebrities' kids in 2013.
Overall, I believe paparazzi should be banned, I feel that at certain events they should be able to take Photos but other than that they should respect celebs' privacy. It is ridiculous that celebrities cannot have a moment of privacy in public. I also think its disguidting how papaprazzi aims to get innopropriate pictures of celebs.
Do you think that paparazzi should be banned?
Should it be legal to take pictures of celebrities' children?

I agree. Complete bann would be alot.
I personally think that the paparazzi should be banned. I think they just get in the way and annoy all the celebrities. I think if they have kids and they are taking pictures of them and the kid hasn't been photographed before then that should be illegal. I would definetly rage at he paparazzi.
They do indeed annoy celeberties.
It seems like they have no respect for private decesnsey. I have heard of paparazzi renting hang gliders and flying over celebrities houses on beach sides, and then taking pictures of them and posting them online. To me, that's just horrible, and I certainly wouldn't want people with cameras following me around everywhere.
Yeah they cant keep my hands to myself.
I think that the paparazzi should be banned. They invade celebrities privacy way too much. Paparazzi makes it hard for celebrities to go anywhere in public or do anything normally. I would not like if there was paparazzi following me everywhere.
I agree. Many people have this view.
I think that paparazzi should be banned in my opinion for many reasons. For instance, they don't care about the privacy of celebrities and they care more about their pictures. They also can be very rude and aggressive when trying to take their pictures.
Your right. I agree.
I think paparazzi should be banned, these people just want to live normal unbothered lives, and not be followed around and have pictures taken of them. I think it should be illegal to take pictures of their kids. They must feel horrible having to grow up like that being followed everywhere and not getting to have a normal childhood.
