Family Has Right of Privacy In Decapitation Photos
big6joe sends in an update to a morbid story we discussed last year: a California appeals court has overturned a lower court ruling, granting the family of an 18-year-old woman who was killed in a traffic accident in 2006 privacy rights and recourse against the California Highway Patrol. "In a case that highlights how the ease of online communication can overthrow both common sense and basic decency, a California appeals court has ruled that families have a right of privacy in the death images of their loved ones. In 2006, an eighteen-year-old woman was decapitated in a traffic accident. Two of the police officers who reported to the scene emailed photos of the woman's body to their friends and family one Halloween."
Some socialist policies are for the greater good. The greater good trumps your selfish little sphere of ignorance. If you're so high and mighty get the fuck off the roads for which your fellow taxpayers pay... and anything else you can't afford to build yourself. Hypocrite!
The greater good can fuck itself up the ass sideways. The greater good has, through one evolution or another, given us every truly despotic regime on this planet. It has justified more bloodshed and evil than any other phrase in existence.
No no, you're thinking of the greater greed... where selfish pricks hoard as much of the world's resources and power as they can without sharing with the rest of the world. Either way... you're still a hypocrite since you happily partake of some socialist policies but rebuke others.
If she got drunk and splattered herself on public land and property there is no expectation of privacy.
The problem is the pictures came from the cops, not a bystander or journalist.
When something like that happens the public land becomes an crime/crash scene and is not public for the moment.
friends != friend's
You had a friend (singular) pass away. It needs a possessive apostrophe. Likewise, when one person dies, you don't say "them passing", you say "his passing" or "her passing". The 's' is part of making it possessive, not plural, and it won't do so on its own.
Those highway drunks can be real mean, it's best not to provoke them.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
The greater good can fuck itself up the ass sideways. The greater good has, through one evolution or another, given us every truly despotic regime on this planet. It has justified more bloodshed and evil than any other phrase in existence.
You're thinking of Religion, actually.
Geez it's gonna take the real heavy stuff to knock the stoopid out of your brain cell.
Why don't all you gay AC's and grammar nazis get a fucking motel room? You can have your love fest without disgusting all the rest of us.
She def. looked better with her head on.
Her lower torso seems to be alright tho!
oh nvm, this isnt 4chan or b0g
OK ... am I free to stop paying taxes then? No? Then I'm going to use the goddamned roads I paid for.
Why not make them all toll roads? Pay proportionate to your usage? I'm all for it. Oh, I'm sorry, does that offend your lazy-ass socialist sensibilities? Dumbshit.
OMFG!!! You don't use windows! Who would have thought that some guy on /. with gnu in his userid would not be running windows!
Well guess what, i had to boot up a virtual machine running vista to test the file. And don't be sorry cause it is not malware, too. The online checks that tell you to proceed with caution do so based on heuristics shit.
Wealth is the gift that keeps on giving.
Yes, you are an anonymous coward and you suck rhino. Suppose it was your sister. You are one sick bastard
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
