Spectators filmed Brock death

Spectators filmed Brock death :

"Witnesses have told how dozens of spectators’ cameras were trained on Brock as he rounded a corner and slammed into a tree in the first leg of Perth’s Targa West rally last Friday."

We are living in the digital age and it is bringing some interesting dilemmas to the fore. So what do we do when everyone has their video equipment trained on someone who then dies? Do we show it for all to see? Do we sit back and relish the dying moments of someone? Do we take over what has been , until now, privileged information and do we deny grieving families the right to privacy? Do we all watch and put in our tuppence worth? We need to work it out. Additionally we need to consider how this can be misused. We also need to consider that we are supposed to be protected from terrorists and other unsavoury plotters. If the police are powerless to manage this, how can they then manage more sinister things? All those videos would have been taken in innocence. Do we have a way of protecting families? What would we do if someone barged into the hospice and filmed the final moments? We are neither protected nor safe and respect is becoming something we leave to the goodwill of others and have no right to demand any longer. I think we need to look at this very quickly. We could do a lot of harm and then again we could make ourselves rather blase about it all. We need to put our heads together on this one.
