Dan Sirr is a photographer for tabloid magazines. He springs out of bushes, jumps from cars, and pops up in windows to take pictures of celebrities. He's not just annoying - he's a threat to public safety due to his reckless acts. Sirr has been pursuing celebrity Eva Distraction, who files suit to stop him. He appears before the judge, but there is no common law (precedent) or statutory act on the matter. Without such guidance, the judge has no authority to restrict Dan's actions.
