Los Angeles police and prosecutors started to look into different ways to control aggressive paparazzi, after the accident when a photographer smashed into Lindsay Lohan’s car last week during a chase.

Police will try to target are so-called photo ambushes, and when photographers intentionally block their identities and plot to take celebrities off the road and out of their vehicles.

Instead of punishing the photographers individually, police and authorities are looking into the conspiracy-style connections between several photographers working together in getting a picture of a celebrity at any time.

William S. Hodgman of the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office wants to tackle the rumored crimes behind paparazzi cases, which are becoming more serious than usual.


"We are aware that vehicles are used quite often in efforts to stalk celebrities. We also are aware of numerous incidents where the celebrity and or others had children with them who were put in jeopardy."

It seems that measures being taken by paparazzi are becoming more and more desperate. To secure a shot, paparazzi photographers drive and take photos at the same time, often choosing a last-resort kamikaze style attack at their celebrity targets.

Lindsay Lohan was hit whilst driving in her car with a friend, who suffered whiplash due to the cameraman. Lohan went on to call 911 and had complained about the incident.

The photographer that smashed into Lohan has been arrested for suspicion of a felony assault with a deadly weapon.

"I abhor what they do," says Brad Pitt in an interview when asked about paparazzi ways. "I try to make it difficult on them; they make it difficult for me... I'm not going to complain about it, but I do find it very strange that the law protects them, as far as following us around all day; carloads of people shooting outside our house, shooting inside our house."
