The California Senate on Friday approved a bill that would make it a crime for first responders to take pictures of dead people for reasons other than official investigations.

Gipson said he was “mortified” to hear that first responders shared unauthorized photos from the crash scene.“The actions of the first responders involved were unacceptable, and they highlighted a problem that demands a strong remedy,” Gipson said. “I took this on as a great responsibility to ensure that those who are trusted to secure scenes of great disaster and death are not abusing their power for personal pleasure.

The measure “seeks to address a significant deficiency in current law and brings peace of mind to the families of accident victims,” L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. An attorney for Vanessa Bryant, the widow of Kobe Bryant and mother of Gianna Bryant, 13, who was also killed in the crash, called the alleged behavior by deputies “inexcusable and deplorable.”

Privacy in every situation-- Protecting our privacy is the biggest challenge of our generation. Companies like iotex_io that prioritizes privacy are needed more than ever.

In this instance, the widow should be able to sue the shit out of the individual for the privacy violation.

This should be a law in EVERY state. Thank you for your decency, CA.🇺🇸

PattyArquette I find it sickening that this has to be a law in the first place. It’s common fucking decency.

That’s not already a law?

It’s their job to take photos - so yes, misuse of that is just gross. Almost as gross as capitalizing on other people’s tragedy and death.

This was a thing?

Scum will be Scum regardless

And y’all seriously wonder why civilians don’t trust the police here. Who does that.

When people complain about how many laws there are on the books, please remember that common sense and decency are not common.

The dirty dirty police

Really handling the the important issues as usual.

Thank God someone is looking out for celebrities. On brand CA.
