Going Quiet: More States Are Hiding 911 Recordings
This should probably be handled the same way as donating your dead body for science (or profit): make this an individuals own choice. This improves societal cohesion: if the individual allows the release of this private data when it concerns him- or herself, any designated people are free to request this data, and each one of them should be free to share this freely, it&#x27;s up to the individual to choose discreet people if so desired, avoiding anger between the mourning individuals with respect to the state. It also improves cohesion between individuals and the state in aother way: if the deceased chose to <i>not release</i> such private data, then the mourning individuals will be less angry at the state and more angry with the &quot;poor&quot; decision of the deceased...<p>As with all such systems you get the endless meta-fight of opt-in versus opt-out: as a stoichiocrat, my preferred solution is to provably flip a random coin toss, such that anyone who cares about this setting must explicitly opt-in or explicitly opt-out, <i>those who act careless simply do not care</i> about their setting, and the conundrum of systemic bias in the sense of all opt-in versus all opt-out is avoided. The probability of the coin toss can even be set identically to the fraction of people who explicitly opt-in vs explicitly opt-out (in example if 90% of the populace ignores the setting, and 7% opt for release and 3% opt for privacy after death, then for the 90% without explicitly stated preferencee a random 7 out of 10 people will have the  details released and 3 out of 10 will have the details withheld)
