Milo Ventimiglia vs. paparazzi: "I have lost a bit of confidence in the laws"

Milo Ventimiglia testified at a task force in Los Angeles created to investigate the aggressive behavior of paparazzi.

The Los Angeles Regional Paparazzi Task Force met at Los Angeles City Hall on July 31, 2008 to determine whether tabloid photographers have become too aggressive and dangerous to the safety of celebrities they track.

Milo Ventimiglia was among the first to testify, and the “Heroes” actor recounts being stalked by a group of paparazzi as he drove through West Hollywood. At each red light, three tabloid photographers would jump out of their cars and surround his car, blinding him with their camera flashes.

Milo admitted he lost a bit of confidence in the law when he went to the police station after one incident and was told there was nothing authorities can do.

John Mayer and Eric Roberts also testified before the task force. Meanwhile, the L.A. chief of police William J. Bratton criticized the meeting as “farce”.
