How much legal protection, if any, should celebrities have from paparazzi?

It's kinda sad that there is a market for pictures of celebrity A in joggers, or celebrity B with "a bad hair day," or celebrity C with ketchup on his chin. What has the world come to? On the other hand, if people live by their celebrity status then perhaps they bring it on themselves. But there must be a legal protection for minors who are related to these celebrities. The intrusion into the life of kids just because they are related to a celebrity is going too far.

Celebrities need to be given stronger legal protection from paparazzi.

Thats because their professional and personal lives are exposed easyly beyond limits by the global media whereby the media tends to cross the line several times to make that extra money.

With a stronger legal protection for the celebrities I think these paparazzi would get on defensive mindset, well, at least theoretically speaking.

Well, they are public figures basically..

You should figure out how to protect them from people who stab you because you didn't accept their gift.

Total. To save us from Trump and the Pantheon of the Vacuous.

No more than anyone else. In an equal and free society, no person or group of people should receive more protection than anyone else. If a celebrity wants more physical protection, they can provide it and pay for it themselves.

The car crash that killed Princess Diana in Paris happened because her chauffeur was trying to escape from paparazzi...

All laws against voyeurism, trespassing, etc. should cover all people, not just a certain group.

If you have a reason to be followed, then you have fame and fortune. Live with it and pay your own way.

No one is following me around :-(

If folks weren't so keen to see the crummy photos of all these celebs then they wouldn't need protection. the Daily Mail; Sidebar of Shame is a sorry indictment of how superficial large parts of our culture has become

So long as no crimes are being committed, by the celebs or the paparazzi, then I don't think there's a lot more that can be done. If they interfere with ANYTHING that ends up causing an accident or otherwise, then the paparazzi should be prosecuted and automatically given the maximum sentence in any case against them (unless the interference itself is accidental).
