    there would definite have to be strict laws about how the video can be used, any leaks without patient permission ruin a person's life, and they spend a mandatory 5 years in prison

    Or you could connect any refusal with a liability waiver, to protect the care facility and its staff.

    as for the sentences, not sure what they were, they did not say, which means they were probably too short

    edit : I missed that

    "During a virtual hearing Tuesday afternoon, Loyce Agyeman pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, neglect to an elder person and concealing a death. DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Shondeana Morris sentenced her to eight years in prison."

    not sure why? it is dirty, low paying work and the staff takes lots of abuse from the patients as well.

    nope, the business\staff is still liable, just no video - otherwise it would be a license to abuse

    I believe in a right a privacy, and that is best ensured without video hanging around of the most intimate of care, including bathing, toileting, wound care, wiping, the cleaning of the vagina or penis. I don't believe it appropriate for patients to be forced to decide between not getting that kind of care and assistance in the proper setting and making those those activities a part of somebody's intrusive footage . That means providing them right to refuse to be taped like a suspect in a cop video. Nope if your 'garrantees' are not sufficient to provide them comfort they deserve a right not to be taped whether you in your good wisdom deem them sufficient or not.

    The taping itself against their will is a form of abuse and coercing their compliance by denying needed medical care is still coercion.

    No means No.

    You're right race only matters when the perpetrators are white.

    The whole topic of the thread is that the news media didn't report it because of perpetrators are black.

    It's how they say people like Jacob Blake was unarmed that's just because he's black. He was armed that's why he was shot.

    The news media access if black people can do no wrong that seems to me to be the main focus of this thread.

    In the title it says why didn't the news media report this.

    You going to talk about what does race have to do with it what is the race have to do with the Buffalo shooter? Don't bother we already know.

    That doesn't make any sense I wasn't accusing you of bias I was accusing the media of bias.

    Are you Brian stelter?

    You posted
    Since you seem to know what I’d say so I asked you to show me any posts of mine about the Buffalo shooter. You won’t find any because I’ve never made any comments about anything being racially motivated ever on this forum. So how you can think you “already know” my thoughts on it is totally asinine.

    I've already said this is about the media.

    If that's not good enough for you nothing will be. So that's all I'm going to say about it. If you want to whine and carry on any further it will fall in deaf ears.

    You know damn well you made it about me. Seems I struck a nerve by calling you out on your incorrect assumption. Good.
