Deets After Dark

suitep:

The photographer who took this picture of a bicyclist being upended after hitting a pothole submerged in rainwater in Xiamen, China, is coming under fire. Critics say he was lying in wait to capture an unfortunate incident instead of warning people about the impending danger. The photographer defends himself by arguing that without his pictures, the government would have never noticed the pothole.

Interesting debate. It seems like there may be other ways to notify pothole fillers short of documenting the danger.
