The "paparazzi chase" in New York was overblown yes, however the NYPD later said in writing that a review had concluded that the behavior of the paparazzi was "reckless." It said the paparazzi showed "reckless disregard of vehicle and traffic laws." Displayed "persistently dangerous and unacceptable behaviour," operated vehicles, scooters, and bicycles in a way that forced the security team (including an NYPD lead car) to take evasive actions.
It also said that paparazzi created situations where the security team had to take circuitous routes to avoid being struck or trapped.
Based on this review, the NYPD concluded there was "sufficient evidence to arrest two individuals for *reckless endangerment.*"
That said, no arrests were ever made.
I don't like the way H&M have behaved but I do think we shouldn't blame them for everything.
The taxi driver didn't feel at risk and really what stupid idea was in their heads when they exited the building via the front doors?
