I was faulting the spotter not the crew. With that big a crowd, I would rely heavily on a good spotter backing me up to provide warning about idiots with cameras so I didn't run any over.

Idiots being the operative word. There ought to be a law protecting the general public from lawsuits if one of these morons gets flattened by, say, an ambulance trying to transport a critical patient. If we can't pass that law, maybe we can pass one keeping them 100 feet away from any emergency vehicle at the very least. This would still give them good shots with their super zoom lenses. The paparazzi have gotten completely out of control to where they often pose a threat to public safety. I don't think retarded photographers standing in front of/behind moving vehicles is what our founding fathers had in mind when they guaranteed freedom of the press.

I like the German law that's taken the air out of the papparazi. Apparently it is illegal to either take or publish (can't remember which) someone's photo without their permission, even in public.

I'm giving them a pass on the backing. I'm sure they were pretty concerned about all the people running around out there, no matter how good they are at backing.

Not sure I would have done any better knowing who I had in the back.
