Kanye calls for paparazzi law
 

Kanye West has called for a law to be passed against paparazzi intrusion.

The rapper, who was arrested at a Gateshead hotel on Friday following a scuffle with a photographer, has asked for new rules to be introduced to protect celebrities.

"When will there be a law passed that simply enforces that someone has to ask to take a photograph of you? That would seem like common courtesy," he wrote on his website.

"Right now the [paparazzi] are above the law and the people they [photograph] are below it. What should be illegal is pictures taken with the intent to sell."

West added that snappers engage in "by any means necessary" behaviour that is dangerous for everyone involved.

He said: "You shouldn't be able to sell a picture of me without my permission. I am not a celebrity. I'm a normal person that's just famous. I put my hand up to the camera in self-defence!"

I agree.

kanye is the man of reason

he will take the paparazzi down

Andy! do what my u2u said!

Isn't there an "Official Kanye West" thread now for this?

Yes but this is about protecting famous people, not just Mr West.

No i will not give you anymore sexual favours!!!!

Lmao he only cares when this **** gets him arrested.

TV Companies need peoples permission to be shown, why isnt it the same with newspapers/craprags/magazines?

It's a price to pay with fame, you can't have it both ways. The best thing to do is work with the paparazzi, rather than punching them in the face etc, then they won't hound you.

kanye will never work with the paperazzi that is like selling your soul to the devil

kanye would never do that

kanye has warned them the paperazzi won't bother going near him again if they know whats good for them :joker::laugh:

They'll just hound him even more then. If you want a peaceful life as a celebrity, then you have to work with them, simple as.

for any normal cele yes

not mr west

And too think that's everyday for her, and there's worse than that.

Finally, I agree with Kanye on something.

I agree just because they're celebrities don't mean that they should be paraded about in their private life unwillingly, they are human beings at the end of the day.
