LOS ANGELES (AP) -
A Los Angeles judge has dismissed a charge against a paparazzi accused of recklessly pursuing Justin Bieber.
Freelance photographer Paul Raef was the first person charged under a new California law targeting reckless driving by paparazzi seeking shots of celebrities.
The judge said today the law is overly broad.
The photographer still faces more traditional counts for reckless driving and for following other cars too closely.
