Paparazzi shut out

SACRAMENTO: Paparazzi and others who harass the children of public figures will face tougher penalties under legislation signed by the California governor. The bill will boost penalties for actions that include taking photos and videos of a child without consent and in a harassing manner. Celebrities such as actresses Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner urged lawmakers to support the bill. Berry testified before several legislative committees that her daughter has been intimidated by aggressive photographers who follow them daily, often shouting as they snap pictures. AP
