Gruesome death photos are at the forefront of an Internet privacy battle

Thoughts?

A car crash victim's father is suing the CHP over the wide dissemination of pictures of his daughter's body.

Three weeks after his 18-year-old daughter sped away in his Porsche and swerved to her death in Lake Forest, Christos Catsouras understood why he had not been allowed to see her body.

Photographs of the Halloween 2006 crash, taken and leaked by the California Highway Patrol, were proliferating on the Internet. The crash had left his daughter unrecognizable.

Catsouras said he found 35 websites — and soon hundreds more — that showcased the macabre photographs, some with headlines that mocked his daughter. When he took them to the attention of CHP officials and pleaded for help, he said, they told him there was nothing they could do. "They said if we wanted to file a complaint, we could file a complaint."

Erghh that's just sick, I wish the picture never got leaked onto the internet, how unprofessional of the police officers if it was an official crime scene photo. Just when I thought I'd seen everything.:throwup: RIP Nikki

That's the problem with the web. It cannot really be regulated to any significant degree....at least not with any uniform consistency.

Man, there are some really depraved mother-fuckers out there. :(
