I am little surprised that there was merely a financial settlement. This is not just an invasion of Mr Eckert's privacy but a matter of public concern. The law enforcement officials and doctors should have been fired too, well not just by fired but criminally booked as well. I am surprised this has not happened.
On a larger note, imagine that government tries to build a military base on a mountain behind your house. They use explosives to break bid rocks. One rock flies off and falls in your backyard killing your dog. Government pays you $1m as compensation. Does the matter end there ? Most certainly not. Instead government's negligence is a public concern. I think your neighbors should be allowed to demand that government disclose what security measures they have put in place to ensure that more rocks don't fly in air killing others.
I think in the above mentioned case it must be absolutely necessary that the cops and doctors should be booked and heavily penalized.
