Nearly $10 Million Owed to LAUSD by Teachers Who Were Mistakenly Overpaid
One of the first steps to fighting a problem is informing the public of what's legally right and wrong. After yesterday's meeting of the Regional Paparazzi Taskforce led by LA City Councilmember Dennis Zine, the group released this one page document highlighting laws paps break on a regular basis to score that big money shot (laws cited are state, Los Angeles, Malibu and Beverly Hills). But what's a little ticket or some short jail time when you just made $27,000 from a couple of shots? To them, it's just a cost of doing business. A downloadable version of the guide will soon be available on Zine's website.

I think the real deterrent is not the but that if they're spending 15-30 minutes sitting, waiting for a ticket, etc., that's a lot of shooting and missing following they're loosing. They might (although I doubt it) consider being a little less aggressive as the payoff won't be worth the time lost.
Plus citations add up, meaning losing a drivers license, increased fees, and possible jail time.
None of this is really addressing the issue that the pap's reckless behavior is endangering the safety of innocent bystanders.
