A Crown Court Judge has suggested that traumatic cases should be televised, for example fatal road crash cases as it would allow others to see what affect it has on others such as the families and loved ones left behind. Interesting idea! BBC News - Norfolk judge calls for 'traumatic' court scenes to be televised
Not called accidents anymore, they are called Road traffic collisions on the basis that every crash has a cause, whereas an accident is defined as being beyond the control of an individual
everything in the world has a cause if you think about it.I think changing the name from accident to collision is some brainstormer behind a desk trying to justify their job.I agree with JM1, it should be serious crime shown over traffic accidents. but then serious crime takes effort to solve and with an average of two out of three crimes going unsolved according to recent news reports maybe they would have more cases ending in no action unlike easy prosecutable road offences.Dont want to make them look like they arent doing a good job.
So its ok if you accidentally forgot to pay attention and caused a fatality, which is obviously unplanned. I agree, after watching the repercussions of the event it would make me think about the ones that care and whether its worth twisting the throttle that little bit more on a public road. It will also make people realise the fatality carries on for many years to come and not stop after the clear up. Just my PoV
If you read the full article, the Judge is referring to just the summing up and/or sentencing being televised, not the full trial
