Kobe Bryant law signed banning first responders from taking death pics after scandal from graphic crash scene photos
A NEW law makes it illegal for first responders to take unauthorized photos of a dead person at an accident following Kobe Bryant's death.
The "Kobe Bryant Law," signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday, will take effect on January 1, .
Sheriff’s deputies allegedly took of the helicopter disaster victims including Gianna, 13, and the legendary basketball player, 41.
A led by wife and mother reads that eight deputies used personal cell phones to take photos of the victims.
The bill that Newsom signed makes it a misdemeanor for a first responder to take or share pictures from a crash, accident, or scene for any purpose outside official law enforcement or genuine public interest.
If found guilty of the crime, someone may be fined up to $1,000 per violation.
Assemblymember Mike Gipson introduced the bill earlier this year and called it the "Kobe Bryant Act of 2020" in a celebrating the signing.
