Found myself in a situation tonight on the way home from work, and of course didn't have a camera in the car (so it's a moot point), but here's what happened...
I'm on the freeway, and about 100 yds in front of me a car has a blowout and proceeds to do two or three 360s before going head-on into the cement center-median at about 50mph. I was the first car past the scene (and the only one to stop). I called 911, and by the time I got off the phone with the state police, a couple more people had stopped to help. Anyway, end result was an ambulance ride for a couple of the people in the car, but overall I think they were alright.
On the way home, I got to thinking. No camera in the car as I said, but there were some awesome photojournalistic images to be had. If I had had a camera, would it have been legal to fire some off? Would it have been tacky?
