Bieber Pulled Over During High-Speed Paparazzi Freeway Chase

Last Friday, Canadian pop star Justin Bieber was pulled over by California Highway Patrolmen on the 101 Freeway after getting involved in a high-speed chase with paparazzi on his tail. He was driving a chrome Fisker Karma at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour, according to the Los Angeles Times. Bieber told authorities he was speeding because he was trying to get away from a group of paparazzi that had been following him.

Dennis Zine, a Los Angeles City Councilman, saw the chase taking place and contacted authorities right away. The news publication indicated Zine had hopes the pop star and the paparazzi would be arrested for reckless driving.

"Any time you do 90, the paparazzi are going to go 90," Zine told the LA Times. "He was going from the fast lane to the slow lane to the shoulder in traffic. It was a very dangerous driving situation. I figured someone was going to crash, so I called 911."

The "Baby" singer was given a speeding ticket and advised to contact police next time he is being followed. The New York Daily News reports Bieber placed a 911-call shortly after being pulled over to report he was still being followed by at least three photographers.

Bieber also filed a complaint against one of the most aggressive paparazzi. According to TMZ, the 18-year-old singer gave authorities the man's license plate number, and the perp is now being investigated for harassment.
