Yes... Kill all the reality, so those dolts can go about killing themselves with Covid, and stuntcar racing... I remember crime mags in the 50's had vivid B/W photos of bullet wounds..

Please take the time to listen to this news channel - about what the Government are doing about Covid-19, with laws, lockdown and vaccines.

Well that law certainly solved that problem.

Somone took pictures of him? Disgusting behaviour!

Photos & full documentation of an accident or crime scene are needed in official duty to help preserve evidence. We’ve been there. Rough but essential. This law should help quell the temptation of public servants to wear a paparazzi hat as well. No respect, no honor? No job...

I can’t believe this even needed to be passed as law. WTAF.

the law maybe good intentioned, but it is really worthless today. As it is everybody has a camera and beat the first responders to the site, plus they now have drones.

Seriously, what is wrong with cops.

Still amazed that the intial policy of the Sheriff Dept did not recognise an accident as a crime scene.

You literally have laws on everything even the things which are ethically supposed to be done without being forced to.

The tragic truth is that our sense of basic compassion has so eroded that those charged with public welfare need a law to tell them what constitutes indecent behavior.

For those who say that celebrities don’t deserve privacy are wrong. Horribly wrong.

Whats sickening is that this needs to be a law in the first place. What paramedic whips his phone out at the sight of a dead body?

What’s disgusting is the fact this law is even needed

What a crazy thought
