California to limit use of photos of deceased
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.
The measure, which was proposed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, would make it a misdemeanor for a law enforcement official to photograph a deceased person at a crime or accident scene unless required for an official investigation, punishable by up to a year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines.
