[Imc-g8-2005] Medics media policy

[Anarcho Babe]

O and have forgotten to say, that it might be beneficial to them - if they  
run into a court case later - to have some form of photographic/video  
evidence of the action in which the injury occurred.

So, just in case, you might want to point that out to (some) people.

And, I am actually more worried about people filming and photographing who  
are not on this list.

cheers Ulla
