Jennifer Garner Gives Paparazzi A Taste Of His Own Medicine: Takes Photo Of Him While He Films Her Kids

Jennifer Garner has had enough with the paparazzi. On Sunday, Jennifer Garner gave a paparazzo a taste of his own medicine, and took a photo of him while he tried to film her kids.

Jennifer Garner, who is currently involved in a celebrity movement for stricter anti-paparazzi laws in California, confronted a paparazzo who was filming her and her three young kids over the weekend, ABC News reports.

The 41-year-old actress was at a farmer's market in Pacific Palisades, Calif., on Sunday, when she noticed the paparazzi filming her kids.

A photo of the incident shows the "Alias" star standing in front of the paparazzo and holding her cellphone in front of him. Jennifer Garner reportedly took a photo of him with the phone. She was dressed casually, in a pair of jeans and a black sweater with her hair pulled up into a loose ponytail, for the weekend outing.

Garner, along with Halle Berry, recently testified before the California State Assembly Committee on Public Safety in support of a proposed anti-paparazzi bill intended to protect celebrities' children from being harassed by photographs, by making it a crime for paparazzi to stalk, harass or engage in otherwise dangerous conduct in order to obtain a photo, E! News writes.

"I chose a public life," Garner, who is married to Ben Affleck, told lawmakers in Sacramento. "My three children are private citizens. I love my kids. They're beautiful and sweet and innocent, and I don't want a gang of shouting, arguing, lawbreaking photographers who camp out everywhere we are all day, every day, to continue traumatizing my kids."

The bill would prohibit photographers from "following the child's activities or lying in wait," and calls for hefty fines and potential jail time for offenders, and it would also allow them to be sued in civil court, ABC News reports.

The proposed legislation is expected to be heard by the Assembly Judiciary Committee.

One paparazzo argues that celebrities are being unrealistic.

"You cannot be in a paparazzi hot zone and not expect to get photographed," Henry Flores told ABC News.  "It's ridiculous.  It's kind of like, you know, going to the crocodile den and expect not to be eaten."
