The fact that this kind of privacy has to be legislated, and not assumed, says so much about our voyeur society that you really have to question our moral path.
I live in CT and remember this well. The video in question helped identify the driver of the car and this gentleman damn well knows that. Although we didn’t need to see the whole video, especially the part where this man’s father was lying on the street and no one helping, parts of the video were useful. With the help of average citizens viewing this video, the police were about to arrest the driver. So to be fair, you can’t have both because it did help. Maybe the rag The Hartford Courant didn’t have to follow you to the church for your father’s funeral and burial but that’s the kind of crappy journalism The Courant does.

I could not have said it better.
