You are correct there is no LAW. However, there are several things the press considers: 1. Security issues of the minor child 2. the public's opinion of children being hounded when through no fault of their own they become public property and fair game. Too many Mothers out there that would turn on those photographers. Jazmin would not have secret service protection. Albert in the past has hired Galvin DeBecker to provide that for her. His connections alone would be enough to make most photographers back off. I also have personal knowledge of two Celebrities who cut deals with the press - it goes like this - leave my kids alone and I will grant you exclusive shots. They "tip off" the press as to where they can get these shots. Some celebrities don't mind their kids being photographed, others do. Some are very protective of their kids. Once the kids turn 18 or finish high school, then all bets are off on the photos because the kids aren't considered minors anymore. I would expect that once she starts college you will see more candid photos of her.
There are different laws for people whether they are considered public or private citizens, and it depends where the pictures were taken, outside on a public street or inside a private event? It's not so much taking the photograph it's in publishing the photograph. I needed to add here, it depends how the pictures were taken? I posted about this a long time ago. Also there has to be signs posted everywhere if there is filming going on inside or you have to sign a release. It doesn't make a difference in this case? I have some lovely swamp land for sell?
In LA paparazzi chase people in cars (for hours), they make U-turns in the middle of busy streets--they're not only a menace to the celebrity but to the public in general, and no laws seem to exist for them, in spite of the stalking laws that were put in place years ago. Paparazzi think nothing of knocking someone down to get their shot. Most stores here have what they call privacy screens that they roll down when the paparazzi get's too intense. But there are certain hot spots where the paparazzi hang out--if a celeb is there, they know what to expect.
