A court of appeals has granted an Orange County family the green light to take action against the Calif. Main road police over explicit photos of an accident which its policemen leaked out to the world.

The judgment by the fourth dominion appeal court of Santa Ana annuls an inferior court’s discharge of a family’s case versus the California Highway Patrol over the inappropriate release of pictures of Nikki Catsouras, who passed away on the road on the day of Halloween in 2009. Nikki Catsouras was eighteen years old.

The California Highway Patrol has accepted that two of its police officers net mailed their acquaintances and family 9 ghastly photographs which included shocking pictures of the girl’s headless dead body reported by the powerfully phrased ruling of sixty-four pages. Once found, the photos were sent on to other people according to the ruling and so were distributed over the World Wide Web very rapidly, displayed on a lot of internet sites.

The relations of Nikki Catsouras started getting inexplicable electronic mails and text contents mocking them with the pictures which were put up on all sorts of inappropriate sites.

The immediate family of Nikki Catsouras registered a case versus the CHP for intrusion of privateness, deliberate imposition of emotive suffering as well as neglect. But the Orange County Superior courtroom Judge brushed aside a big part of the case, although he titled the behavior of the policemen as absolutely condemnable.

The court of appeals, nonetheless, went with the family of Nikki Catsouras, desiring to set a case in point that could forbid injury to the beloveds of the victims of accident in the time to come.
