Also, I read an article on this that said they'd searched the police station computers and found that the number one most frequently visited website at the station was 4chan. 4chan is a bulletin board website with a huge, uncensored adult content section. The logic that everyone is applying here is that of course no one would want to look at a dead naked body in a sexual context. In reality, there are many threads on 4chan, and even entire websites, devoted to (and I wish I was making this up) naked/pornographic images of dead women from crime scenes. It's a "thing". Apparently you can google and find the sites yourself. There is absolutely no reason why her clothing should have been removed at all and the police chief himself said it was "against protocol". I'd like to believe there was a logical reason for this but the link to 4chan just nails this case shut for me. Honestly, the fact that any member of law enforcement would frequent this site while on the job just makes me sick. What a horrible thing for her family--I don't blame them for taking the police dept to task for this.
I've read the article and can find no logical reason for the cops to undress the dead girl. I wonder if they would have done the same if the victim had been a male or older female.
Which is what I asked. It's so ridiculous that perv cops used this as an opportunity to undress and take pictures of a young woman. Had she been real old or a man I GUARANTEE they wouldn't be in any quick hurry to strip them and take pics.

Or on the other hand, they may have been looking at this 4chan to see if there were any leaks in their department. While on one hand that sounds like "Three Days of the Condor", on the other hand, I've had the job at times looking for leaks in one's organization.
One can assume their worst case, darkest part of the human soul about something or one can ask the question is there another reason, another possibility?
Why would the parents even know about the pictures at the scene? I suspect the cops probably had a legit reason to take the pictures. The mom is doing more damage to her daughter's reputation than the pictures would be.
I didn't see the pictures so I'm guessing just like the rest of you.
Paramedics and EMT's will cut a shirt away if they've got to perform lifesaving measures, but they don't remove the shirt entirely because it's time consuming, every minute counts when you're trying to save a life, and you try not to move the victim so as not to injure them further. Her shirt probably would have been laying right under her if it had been cut away by emergency personnel. Her pants would also be cut away if there's a major bleed that they need access to, but even so after stabilizing the patient she would have been removed to the hospital, or the morgue.
I read a couple of the articles but haven't read anything about emergency personnel on scene. Is it possible they were just overzealous cops taking pictures of a crime scene?
What one poster said about that website of nude accident victims is very suspect and if the cops posted those pictures there, they should be sent away for a long time.
Unless these were trained CSI's, they had no business removing her from the vehicle and/or taking nude photographs of this woman.
It has been mentioned earlier in the thread that these were CSI's.
