They, like all persons, get the presumption of innocence until guilt is affirmed.

Huh? There is no trial. 😕

We will have to wait and see if criminal damage is reported regarding the paps crashing into all those parked cars you linked to.

just very curious....how would anyone manage to have a 2 hour car chase in New York city without just about every police car/helicopter/swat team etc being called out? we had a young one here in Dublin chased from Ballymun along the M50 and back to Ballymun a couple years ago and i think every Garda car in the country was involved...

No, they did not inform anyone of their post awards plans (which was they were heading straight back to where they were staying). It was assumed (not without reason) that they would be going somewhere for dinner, but were not.

Now that Backgrid have acknowledged ownership of the images, they can be sued in court by H&M, something which they have done already in California when paps took photos of them in the backgarden with a drone, and they won their case and the newspapers were unable to use them. I guess that is what will happen here as the Mail & Express have already taken down the photos of them in the yellow taxi. I'd be pretty sure that their legal team would have been on the ball and got them.

Backgrid not so smart really telling them to back off. H&M have now a legal case to persue them.

You need to check your facts there.

The drone case in California was a clear case of the law being broken: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB856

TLDR; This law from 2015 prohibits entering the airspace of an individual in order to capture an image or recording of that individual engaging in a private, personal or familial activity without permission. This legislation is a response to the use of UAS by the press in covering celebrities and other public figures.

The paps were not breaking any laws in NY that day in regards to taking their picture. Whether or not they broke some other laws of endangering people or the public or property etc... is another matter which has yet to be determined according to the NYPD, since they said in an official statement that No arrests or collisions or injuries or summons had occurred.

Since backgrid have all the evidence and videos I am sure they know what they are dealing with here and are confidently able to tell them to F.Off

That may well be the case in New York. I wonder why they passed that legislation in California. Do some people think that these photos are not the photographer's property. I know here in Ireland, to use a photo you must get the permission of the person involved unless its in a public situation where press are invited. You see this for example with sporting teams - for example, Ireland/Leinster retain an agency to take photos of training and games who can then distribute them. They don't have a licence to stalk the players or camp outside their homes looking for photos. In other less formalised settings (such as vox pops etc., they usually look for a signature to confirm that you allow its publication.

CNN have done a composite report of what was reported.

Interesting that they say that at no stage did M&H's spokesperson's claim that it was a high speed chase. It would be interesting to find out who stated that in the first place so that it went viral. Perhaps the Mail/Express/Sun.

For those of you rubishing the high speed chase - where did you learn of this and from whom?

Hey @Oscar_Madison, where did you find out about the supposed high speed chase?

Who did we learn this from? Scobie.

It does not say it was high speed.

So where did you hear that it was a high speed car chase?

You will need to explain to me who is the non-human and who is the human in this case.

Omid scobie says here that at some points they were driving up to 80mph. ( This is after he starts out saying that it wasn't a fast and the furious style chase lol )This seems unlikely for Manhattan. That's faster than I get to on the freeway fgs, let alone crowded city streets with a crosswalk every few hundred feet. Also, it's illegal so will their driver be getting penalized? If it's true they are the ones who could have killed someone

Ironically Ronaldo did have a pretty serious crash in a tunnel.

Speaking of lack of comprehension. You are fully aware of how it unfolded, but here you are still banging away trying to shoehorn in phrases that were not said.

Honestly I'm still recovering from your fantasy kidnap fiction from yesterday.

Can you not take a day off and ground your opinion in reality for once, please?

I am fully aware about what happened? Even the NYPD aren’t fully aware yet and are still investigating.

🤔

Anyway.

Any time he gets chased by Paps I imagine the media will invoke his mother. It's what they do.

What was confusing about the quote. The NYPD isn’t even clear what happened.
