The man most of you people have labeled as a moron or idiot is one of the best instructors I know and is responsible for helping myself and many others to be some of the best providers around. While he may have overreacted, anyone who has actually been in EMS knows that the press is a royal pain in the ass. Also I'm sure that there is more to this situation then we see in this video.

@ SVProvideo
Your situation may have been true in your juristiction. If there is no scene established and the public has access, then the media has a right to access the area as well. One does not have the right to allow public access to a public area while denying those same rights to a public area to the media.

Sorry but as a professional photographer it looks like this guy was well inside what would be considered a reasonable perimeter at a HazMat scene. Doesn't excuse the EMT's actions. He should have got a cop to remove the photog but no way am I going to defend this photogs actions. I once witnessed an SUV rollover and was right up on the scene shooting until the cops showed up. Once they did, I identified myself and explained why I was shooting. I think they liked that because the cops gave

@mcfdtv It's obvious that you're speaking to someone else because your comments don't relate to anything I've said. I'm a STAUNCH advocate for photographer's rights.
