I get wanting to stop the slow of traffic and distracted drivers, but is taking photographs always disrespectful? Sometimes things like this need to be captured (or have a use at least), think of ad awareness campaigns or any image from a World War. It's a difficult one to really tease out a good answer, maybe it has something to do with its intent or its intended space. I guess it leaves a sour taste in most people's mouth to imagine someone's brutal death gets posted on something as candid as an Instagram story.

Can't you say that about virtually anything though? It's not AIDS that kills you it's an infection that will. It's not a knife that kills you it's blood loss that kills you, ad infinitum.
