The Nikki Catsouras photographs controversy concerns the leaking of photographs of Nicole "Nikki" Catsouras (March 4, 1988 – October 31, 2006) who died at the age of 18 in a car crash after losing control of her father's Porsche 911 Carrera at high speed and colliding with a toll booth in Lake Forest, California. Photographs of Catsouras' badly disfigured body were published on the Internet, leading her family to take legal action due to the distress this caused.

Famous quotes containing the words photographs and/or controversy:
“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
