Prauliena videographer forgets life isn't YouTube - police promises to remind about presence etiquette
The author of the tragic accident video initially thought about views rather than providing help.
Two tragedies occurred in Prauliena parish on Saturday - the first was a horrific car accident, the second involved a man who decided that life is YouTube. While three people were fighting for their lives, our hero walked around with his phone, filming and commenting like some travel blogger.
The video shows how the gentleman making his car accident operator debut walks around the crashed cars, looks at the victims and promises to help... sometime later. First aid can wait, but good footage - no! Even at the Liepāja Museum, where we show history that is actually interesting, visitors understand that some things aren't meant to be photographed.
Police are now evaluating whether our mobile director has broken the law, since according to the Criminal Code people must help, not film. This same man would probably film someone slipping on ice in Liepāja in winter instead of offering a helping hand.
Actually, if everyone filmed as eagerly as this gentleman, we wouldn't need surveillance cameras or journalists. Everyone would simply transform into documentary cinematography masters with their phones. The only problem - sometimes in life hands are more important than cameras.
