California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed the 'Kobe Bryant Bill' into law, which makes it a misdemeanor for any first responder to take unauthorized photographs of dead bodies.
"The actions of the first responders involved were unacceptable, and they highlighted a problem that demands a strong remedy."Newsom's signature comes just weeks after Bryant's widow, Vanessa Bryant, sued the Los Angeles County sheriff, alleging that its deputies shared unauthorized photos of the crash.
The lawsuit says Bryant was"shocked and devastated" by reports of the photos."Mrs. Bryant feels ill at the thought of strangers gawking at images of her deceased husband and child and she lives in fear that she or her children will one day confront horrific images of their loved ones online," the suit says, according to TheShe's seeking damages for negligence, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
"This lawsuit is about accountability and about preventing this disgraceful behavior from happening to other families in the future who have suffered loss," Bryant's attorney, Luis Li, said in a statement.
