A woman who was filmed giving CPR to a man fatally injured in a road crash is calling for photographs and videos of crash sites to be made illegal.
Oh, presumably because the grieving relatives saw it on social media before being formally advised? Well, actually, no:
I've since spoken to Dominic's family and they learned from the police initially," Ms Ferris said. "But very soon afterwards they received a message saying, 'I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin' and the video attached - of him lying in the street, in the dark, in the rain. "How that must have felt? I can't even imagine."
Once again, 'feelings' are prioritised by the emotionally incontinent and legislation is demanded to soothe them, with no thought for how such legislation is supposed to work....
The mother-of-two is calling for legislation to make it a criminal offence to record at such scenes. "Having been in a video in such tragic circumstances, it beggars belief why people want to do that," she said.
I agree, bur what beggars MY belief far more is why you think you have the right to demand new legislation when there's existing legislation, and it works:
There is already a law in place which makes it an offence to improperly use the public electronic communications network. Last month, a woman was arrested over the alleged sharing of images of a pedestrian who was knocked down and killed in Newry city centre.
See?
