Abstract
This case is about a much-publicized story of an eighteen year old girl that lost her life instantly after losing control of her father's Porsche car on a toll road in Orange County Lake Forest, (Southern California) on Oct 31, 2006. In this case, the California Highway Patrol has acknowledged that against its policies and procedure, one of its dispatchers leaked the graphic pictures of the teen's nearly decapitated body onto the Internet. In 2007, the girl's family filed a civil lawsuit against the California Highway Patrol agency and its dispatchers for the leaked images and cited violation of privacy, negligence and infliction of emotional distress. In 2008, the court dismissed the case and the family criticized the ruling and appealed it. This case serves as a great educational topic for discussing what responsibilities organizations and its professionals have towards the general public; to further engage students in the topics of professional ethics, privacy rights and privacy issues, and the process of making ethical decisions.
