Tiger In Trouble, But Is This Fair?

[Khandro]

I've no wish to condone or even comment on the circumstances, but it seems appalling that these police photos can be released and shown all over the media. This couldn't happen if it was in the UK could it? Example;

Think in Britain it would breach Data Protection Act. But I agree it is disgraceful.

Disgusting - I have not (and will not) watch this - the fact that it has been released is beyond contempt.

What exactly couldn't happen here?

The release of police camera footage for public titillation, talbot

[Khandro]

I remember pictures of Paul Gascoigne and Alex Higgins when they were in bad shape on the booze at the end of their careers, but they were taken by paparazzi, unfortunate for them, but I guess legal and I don't remember any vehicles being involved.
I don't know how American law differs, but this seems to be shocking way to treat a man before he is even tried.

I agree, very disagreeable.

It's a real shame to see Tiger struggling on a number of fronts. A brilliant golfer in his prime but sadly, a light of former days now. He is unable to discover any real form and previous revelations and injury have compounded his woes.

I hope he will be remembered for his brilliant career rather than his transgressions and that there will not be any undue focus on him in the future.

Just seen footage of him on the news, totally out of order.
Ironically it reminded me of the bad old days when actual tigers would pace around in circles in very inadequate cages, all rather sad.

Hopefully he will climb out of the hell pit he is in and get back to some sort of normality. That said I only have a limited amount of sympathy for rich celebs who keep dropping ***.

Sad man, horrible to see, but he brought it on himself.

You don't have to be a golfer to see that this is (was) perfection;
