One famous pop icon has recently had a run-in with the police. Tween and teen sensation Justin Bieber was pulled over on Friday, July 6 for reckless driving. Bieber was stopped by the California Highway Patrol on the 101 Freeway. Officers are investigating whether the singer was being chased by aggressive paparazzi photographers.
Every Hollywood icon faces the dreaded and annoying paparazzi once they have reached the brink of fame. Justin Bieber was reportedly battling the frenzy of the paparazzi as he raced down the 101 in his environmentally friendly Fisker Karma. Other drivers who saw Bieber speeding by called 911 to report the reckless driving but couldn’t quite describe his automobile. Some described it as an “aluminum car”, a “stainless steel Ferrari”, and one even ventured out and called it a “spaceship.” His Fisker is a chrome-colored sports car which explains the confusion about his automobile being an “aluminum car”. Clearly, the pop star’s car drew more attention to itself other than its speed.

Bieber was charged with reckless driving and given a fine. He had been weaving through traffic which caused some travellers to be concerned about his careless driving. The photographers were also driving just as recklessly which may have sparked Bieber to drive a bit more aggressively. Other drivers in the road claimed the teenage boy had been going at around 100 mph but Bieber’s representatives deny this claim saying he rarely went over 80 mph.
Justin Bieber, the 18-year old boy who has women from ages 10 to 80 swooning to his lyrics, is just like all of us regular folks when it comes to the law. Endangering the lives and safety of other individuals out in the road is cause enough for cops to pull a driver over before any personal injury is inflicted. Famous or not, safety is still a number one priority for law enforcers.
Reaching fame through his self-published YouTube videos, Bieber has now become a household name. As one of the richest youngsters in the world, Bieber has a name and face that can be recognized almost anywhere. Also famous is the teenager’s girlfriend: Selena Gomez who is a former Disney star. The couple have had troubling times with the paparazzi and have been bombarded by overwhelming picture takings almost everywhere they go. It is no surprise that Bieber was trying to whizz away from the photographers.
While Justin Bieber was merely trying to run away from one of the side effects of fame, he could have injured a fellow driver and passenger out in the freeway.
