photography and emergency services

[Sparkles33]

Something has been confuzzling me for a while.

Bro-in-law broke his leg last year at a wedding (would you believe it?!) and people took photographs of him going in the ambulance etc.

Anyway, one of the ambulance crew bitched all the way to the hospital saying that if they ended up on facebook or something, she could lose her job.

It was a public place anyway, so I assume the "public place, pretty much anything goes" rule applies. Was she OTT and waaaaay off the mark, or am I wrong?

The only way she`d lose a job would be if she was exposed to have been doing something she shouldn`t have been I would`ve thought.

Some people are just paranoid.... lol

On a side note, this photo appeared in a number of national papers.

It`s my brother in law in the high vis...

He`s got a proper print of it on his wall in his office.

Cracking shot needs a comical caption though.

No she couldn't lose her job. And no, she could not have legally stopped the photos being taken.

Bit of a bum shot, innit?

That's what I thought, that she was just OTT and misinformed

you aren't meant to get the face of the injured in, or so I was told by a paramedic friend - but this was for advertising not editorial so he was probably being belt and braces
