Develop code of ethics/law to stop public from sharing photos of fatal accidents
The taking of photos by members of the public of catastrophic fatal or severe injury events is inhumane and insensitive. Mainstream media are governed by code of ethics which should be replicated by social media & it's users. Deceased, injured & their families have a right to dignity and privacy.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about people sharing photos of fatal accidents on social media, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
