Justin Bieber’s done it before — and he’s doing it again … but this time, he took his to make it break it down to the paparazzi that he wants to be left the heck alone.

Check out this clip of Justin outside Malibu’s Soho House on Thursday — he went off on the paps, telling them he was at his wits’ end, and declared he’s not afraid to set boundaries, especially now that he’s a dad.

Justin was one step ahead … telling the paps he knew they’d twist the footage to make it look like he was the bad guy when, in reality, they were just trying to incite him into overreacting.
