From TMZ:
Justin Bieber just got cited for speeding on the freeway, and the witness who called 911 — who happens to be an L.A. City Councilman — tells TMZ, Bieber should have been cuffed, locked up and stripped of his driving privileges.
L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine — who ironically was an LAPD motor officer for 18 years — was on the 101 Freeway when he saw Justin in his chrome Fisker Karma roaring down the freeway at speeds that Zine says exceeded 100 mph.
Zine tells us … Bieber was trying to shake a team of paparazzi (NOT TMZ) that was on his tail.
Zine says, “Bieber was driving like a maniac. He was weaving in and out of traffic. There was hardly any space between cars as he weaved from lane to lane.”
Zine says, “If I was on patrol, I would have arrested him for reckless driving. I was going 60 and he drove by me like he was in a rocket ship. He was a maniac.”
Zine also says the paparazzi were incredibly irresponsible, driving on the shoulder of the freeway and causing an extreme hazard. After he was pulled over, at least 4 paps were swarming Bieb’s car.
First, I get that it sucks that the paparazzi swarms your vehicle and what not if you’re famous, and it can cause dangerous driving conditions. Thank you, disgusting paparazzi hounds who chased Princess Diana for teaching us that lesson. But come on, Justin. Driving faster and more recklessly when you’re being chased is only going to make those chasing you drive faster and more recklessly. And that’s a dangerous situation for anyone on the road, not just your stupid self-involved ass who can’t bear to be asked personal questions about what it’s like to bone—or break up with—Selena Gomez. Driving fast on a congested highway is never safe for anyone, JUSTIN. I can’t believe I even have to tell your stupid “Sixteenth Chapel”-talking ass that shit, but here we are, and we’ve apparently arrived at that.
As a side note? I hate, hate, hate irresponsible drivers. Seriously. It’s a huge, huge pet peeve of mine. Massive. I guess what I’m trying to say with that is that if you hit my car with your vehicle because you’re doing something stupid like texting or speed-demoning or weaving all over the road, here’s your fair warning: I’m definitely going to punch you in the face. I don’t care if you are being chased by some people who wanna take your picture. Pull over and call someone for backup, OK? Cripes.
There are excuses for reckless driving. Most of them only happen in movies.
Genuinely annoying people who want to take your picture and ask intrusive questions is not one of those excuses.
Like, if dragons (perhaps dragons which only you can see) chasing you, blasting fire down at your car? That’s an excuse for reckless driving.
Emily was just talking about his anger issues. Maybe this has been building over the years with his fame. Or maybe it’s something that they had an easier time hiding when he first became famous?
Either way, it’s weird. Aren’t people supposed to get way, way calmer as they get older?
I’m confused…He doesn’t want to deal with paparazzi, but he buys a pimped out CHROME jet engine vanity car that can probably be spotted from the moon. Next, he drives like a crack-head down 101 because (gasp) the paparazzi have found him! And,NO, you can’t buy any kind of car you want just because you’re a celebrity and expect to go unnoticed.
Now here what I have to say that a prefect excuss because in LA their is a PAPARAZZI REFORM LAW IT STATES THAT IF YOU ARE FOLLOW OR CHASING A CELEB YOU WILL GET FINE UP TO 5,00 DOLLAR AND A HALF YEAR IN JAIL. AND HE THE ONLY GOT PUNISH. I’m not a lawyer comon It’s the paparazzi fault he speeding. and maybe because ellen give that car to him on tv he didn’t want anyone reconizing him. so he change the cloor of the cars he drives. last time he was in trouble he was in a van. How did that guy know he was their unless he stake out his house. I’m a oh and it’s the van they used on csi. I wouldn’t have gave bieber a ticket you can not give one party a ticket a not give other party invole that why now that the chp is looking in to this. and base one other I-witnesses Bieber may have the right to fuss about it.
