A popular tabloid is known as “Extreme Press” hires a well-known Private Investigator named “Robert.” Extreme Press requests Robert to locate a popular vocal artist named Janet Star. Extreme Press also requests Robert to take close-up photographs of Janet’s face. Sources say Janet was recently beat by a former lover. Robert is able to locate Janet shopping in a clothing store. Robert approached Janet and asked her for an interview. Janet declines, mentioning “Not now.” When Janet begins to walk out of the store, Robert uses his body to block the exit. Robert says, “Hold on,” and snaps several photographs of Janet. Which of the following is true?

Robert is able to take the photographs as long as he blocks Janet’s exit for a “reasonable” amount of time. There is no crime, tort, or administrative violation since celebrities lose a “reasonable expectation of privacy” afforded to others without celebrity status.

Robert is liable for up to three times the amount of any general and special damages, disgorgement, subject to punitive damages, and a fine of not less than $5,000, but no more than $50,000.
