    Law Unclear On 'Deplorable' Photo Share, 3rd Circ. Rules

    A split Third Circuit panel has ruled that a Philadelphia police officer can't be sued for photographing and sharing a picture of a dead man who jumped from a bridge, holding that while the conduct was "deplorable," the Constitution did not clearly establish that families have a right to control images of their loved ones' deaths.
