The reality star wasn’t the only one pulled over though. Three photographers’ cars were also stopped. But, according to the Associated Press, two of them left the scene before they were questioned by police. The third photographer got out and started taking pictures of Kardashian’s car, and was then cited for speeding and stopping in a non-emergency situation.
Kardashian hasn’t had many problems with the paparazzi, but her fiance Kanye West has long shared his feelings about them. He was recently accused of fighting with a photographer, but has pleaded not guilty in the case.
Numerous stars have shared their strong opinions about the reckless behavior of the paparazzi. California passed an anti-paparazzi law in 2010, but it was overturned in 2012 due to its constitutionality after being tested by an incident involving Justin Bieber. Halle Berryalso championed a new anti-harassment bill, joining other actors like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, to show the damage that can be caused by the paparazzi.
“My daughter doesn’t want to go to school because she knows ‘the men’ are watching for her. They jump out of the bushes and from behind cars and who knows where else, besieging these children just to get a photo,” Berry recently told ABC News. “We get into the car, and my daughter is now sobbing, and she says to me, ‘Are they going to kill us? Are they going to kill us?'”
