Text
That is a good point. It is despicable that people do that for entertainment, but there can be some nuances. An incident could be unfolding, and people could be giving first aid or intervening, but the fact that somebody has recorded it and can give the footage to the police can be useful. However, it should never be videoed for titillation or entertainment.
