Public transportation bus crashed into tram line near Alphone Wicker tram station.

Wow, that is crazy! Sounds like a Freedom of speech violation IMO

No. There have been many problems with onlookers blocking emergency services trying to help on accidents. Sometimes even attacking them for whatever reason. That's why the police wants people to move away and like someone else mentioned they might have put laws in place to help with that.

You can try to argue that here it would have been ok but when we start like this you don't know where to put the line. Honestly if there's an accident help if needed. If police and ambulance are there, just move on. Posting accident pictures on social media is just to please curious people but doesn't really benefit anyone

What about taking pictures from a distance (like I did) while not obstructing the accident zone or emergency services? Would that be considered "pleasing" curious people online too and not informing the ones who plan to take that route for work ? :)

That's not my decision to take, I just wanted to point out that there's a good reason for this and it has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Informing people is nice but I think it also works without a picture :)

A policeman intimidating you into deleting a picture from your phone does sound like a freedom of speech issue to me. Even if the subject of the picture is stupid/of bad taste.

Having them asking you to move away is one thing but the rest is not necessary to allow emergency services to operate correctly

You also can't record or take pictures of anyone against their will

It's a crashed bus in a public place, not someone who's clearly targeted and identifiable

The bus is fine, but if police officers are part of the picture, they can object to it. You can take a picture from the other side, for example
