This is a follow-up to yesterday’s piece. Once again, may the Lord Himself grant Anthony Joshua wholeness and console the family and friends of the 2 team members who lost their lives in the unfortunate road accident.
Back to the matter!
Why should you NOT be in a hurry to record at an accident scene.
1. Be humane first. Have you made the emergency call FIRST to help those in distress. In Lagos, it’s 112 or 767 and it’s toll free, you don’t need airtime to call.
2. Be dignifying next. Recording people at their weakest state strips them of dignity and turns their private suffering into public spectacle.
3. Be ethical too. There can be legal matters to failing to help or obstructing rescue efforts. Even where the law is silent, your moral failure reverberates loudly.
Human life outweighs digital content. It’s okay to not know that it is humanely insensitive, ethically wrong, and morally decrepit to be filming at an incident scene, but now that you know, it’s time to do better.
Let’s have more ‘save, save’ than ‘click, click’ on the scene!
