Earnhardt autopsy photo law challenged in Florida
A Florida law restricting access to autopsy photos faces a legal challenge in Broward County. The 1998 measure, prompted by Dale Earnhardt's Daytona 500 death, makes viewing or copying autopsy images a felony without a court order. The Orlando Sentinel and other papers argue the law harms medical examiners, investigations, and education while supporters say it protects family privacy. The case, before Judge Leroy Moe, highlights tensions between public safety, transparency, and privacy in post mortem images.
