There is no law against being a paparazzo. There is no law against what paparazzi do. Some of us may despise them and their work (deliberately seeking to take sometimes embarrassing pictures of unaware celebrities) but they are no more nor less liable to prosecution than anyone else. Some paparazzi have been sued for invasion of privacy, but most suits are dismissed since the celebrities the paparazzi seek are usually in public places when they are photographed. Some celebrities have been prosecuted for assault when they punched out a paparazzo or broke his camera. On the other hand, some celebrities in fact have been known to seek out the paparazzi for publicity when their careers were in decline. There is a demonstrable love-hate relationship between celebrities and paparazzi, but unless a paparazzo breaks a law, s/he won't go to jail.

Even the infamous "dog team" of paparazzi that fatally pursued Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed into a tunnel in Paris in 1997 were never tried or convicted of anything. They were briefly detained after the horrible accident that killed the couple and their driver, but the cause of that deadly crash was officially determined to be the driver's speeding (presumably to escape the pursuing paparazzi) and his impairment by alcohol. It's arguable that had the car not been pursued, the driver would not have been speeding and thus lost control, but the Paris police could not find a reason to charge the pursuers.
