Kim Kardashian-chasing photographers won't be charged for reckless driving

Despite their legal dodge of 2010 law passed after a Justin Bieber incident, paparazzi were tailing the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star at speeds up to 85 mph and the Los Angeles city attorney slammed them, saying, 'These photographers are putting themselves and the motoring public at risk, all for a picture.’

Kim Kardashian yells at paparazzi after filming her show at Epione Cosmetic Laser Center to get away from her car a day after the ticket.

The three photographers who "chased" Kim Kardashian on a Los Angeles freeway won't be charged under a 2010 law prohibiting reckless driving in pursuit of a paparazzi payday, a law enforcement source said Thursday.

In fact, a review of dash cam video and other evidence has failed to positively identify the two shutterbugs who "fled" the scene on the 101 Freeway Tuesday afternoon, CHP Officer Leland Tang told the Daily News.

The one paparazzo cited for jumping out of his car to snap photos on the shoulder will only have to pay the citation for his non-emergency freeway stop and suffer two points on his license, Tang said.
Cops said the paparazzi cars were pursuing the reality TV star at speeds up to 85 mph, but they were not weaving or pulling up alongside her black Rolls Royce like in a recent case involving pop star Justin Bieber.

The Bieber case led to charges but is now under appeal, and the Los Angeles city attorney declined to file a similar charge of reckless paparazzi driving in the Kardashian case pending its outcome, Tang said.

Kim Kardashian gets pulled over by the police and cited for speeding Tuesday. The reality star claimed she was evading paparazzi, but three photographers involved will not be charged.

"We're very concerned about this. These photographers are putting themselves and the motoring public at risk, all for a picture," he said. "They're distracted, obviously, because they want the picture and it's a disregard for the general public sharing the road."

Kardashian, 33, was cited Tuesday for speeding in her $300,000 custom car and released.
The three paparazzi vehicles pulled over during the traffic stop on the Van Nuys Blvd. off-ramp and helped snarl traffic on the busy roadway, cops said.
