Does anyone have info on the law here? Pictures that include minors in them are shared all the time over the internet and media - many times without having permission from all the people pictured - which I believe is still legal. Why is sharing a picture of a minor illegal in this instance?
- samtho 10y agoI am not a layer, but: Innocent until proven guilty, and once the images get out, they are automatically guilty in the eyes of the public. Should any minor get their record sealed when they turn 18, they would still be known to have committed those crimes. As they have not been apprehended the suspects, it is unknown if they would be tried as an adult. The new outlet is erring on the side of caution here because if the case where a suspect is tried as a minor, gets their record sealed at 18, and will be liable for slandering the adult's name with a crime he or she committed as a juvenile.

Wait, what? Are you saying that the Right to Be Forgotten already exists in the U.S. with respect to criminal convictions of minors?

- dragonwriter 10y agoI don't have the specific citations handy, but California law enforcement agencies are restricted in what information, and in what circumstances, they can share with regard to minors suspected of crimes. This has nothing to do with limits on people in general sharing video or images of minors.
