Great 'response' footage and 'on scene' footage! Let's hope everyone was okay in the end. 🙏 I find some people have an issue with independent videographers and citizen journalists recording (however they don't seem to mind when the mainstream media does the exact same thing and then goes on to sensationalise everything they report!). Of course the context in which one presents their work is important and here you documented the incident in a respectable in responsible way. 👍 Keep up the great work! And it is interesting how emergency vehicles are so massively different in their appearance at opposite ends of the same country, almost as if it was a different country. 🇦🇺 🚓🚑🚒
Here's my take on people taking videos and photos from the POV of a paramedic. You'll find that at 99% of jobs, there's no concern from ambos. As long as you respect our workspace and don't try to find stuff happening within the ambulance, specifically patient care. Some jobs like when an active resus case is being managed in public, then there's an expectation that people will refrain. At the end of the day, having people video or photograph crews is inevitable.
Thank you for sharing your valuable insights @@coover65. They are very much appreciated. Indeed there are various legal, ethical and moral grey areas involved in the filming of emergency incidents and filming injured victims of such incidents. Having previously been responsible for the editing and preparation of police video evidence involving major accidents and crime scenes and having previously worked in a hospital emergency department, I understand the range of traumas that victims and their families may experience. I am always mindful of this when I put on my videographer's cap. It is also apparent that countries and cultures have differing ethical standards when it comes to publishing such content. Of course context matters. Even here in Australia there are programs and documentaries that feature such reality content in the name of prime-time television 'infotainment'. In those cases the emergency service media liaison units give a green light to such productions. Such productions are also a way to honour emergency service workers and the life-saving work that they do. 🫡 And I thank you for your service.
