They could always define it as a hate crime.
There is NO need for an anti-parrazzi law.

If somebody harrasses me or mine with a camera - they EAT the camera. Quick and just retribution.
No sane and honorable person can refute that. No need for cops, scumbag lawyers nor their MASTERS in black robes.
Trolling for votes from the Hollywood community.

Am I saying South Carolina is devoid of "celebrities?" Yes I am!
