A photo of a dead, naked David Carradine has hit the Internet. Thairath, a Thailand tabloid, published a photo where the actor was shown hanging from a rope in his hotel room closet and according to TMZ, Carradine was covered in fishnet stockings, a dark wig and lingerie on the bed. The Carradine family has issued a statement warning legal action will be taken against anyone who reprints the pictures.

This is just one case of photos on the Internet getting people in trouble. A 20-year-old girl from the Chicago area is awaiting trail and now is in trouble over Facebook photos. The woman was charged with DUI and reckless homicide in an accident that killed a motorcyclist. A condition of her bail stated that she was not allowed to drink or be around people who consumed alcohol.

Photos were recently posted on the popular social networking site where the woman was attending a college party. She was seen holding shots and enjoying drinks with her friends. This enraged the judge at her hearing. The judge commented on how the woman seemed to be enjoying herself in the photos. He even noted that she was pictured drinking tequila. Captions from the pictures referenced the women passed out drunk in a bed. The judge has now ordered the defendant to wear an ankle bracelet that monitors alcohol consumption. The device can tell through perspiration if alcohol is in the body. It can alert authorities if the wearer has had anything to drink.

The alarming trend of inappropriate photos posted on the web is getting more and more attention. Recently, Mark Musarella, a New York City EMT worker and a retired, pensioned NYPD officer, was charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly posting a photo to Facebook of a strangled woman he took with his cell phone at a crime scene where he was a first responder.

Then there's the crash scene photos of Nikki Catsouras, the 18-year-old girl who took her dad's Porsche without permission and died in a horriffic car accident. Somehow, gruesome photos of her ended up on the Web and naturally, the family is devasted

It seems all this access to cameras and the Web is too much for some people to handle. Teens are getting criminal records for sexting and some states are charging the minors with laws that would normally apply to child pornography.

The NFL has been running background checks on prospects by looking at their Facebook and Myspace pages. The Minnesota Vikings found a picture of a prospect sitting on the floor next to piles of money and drugs.

The bottom line on posting photos on your favorite social site is to think first. If you would be ashamed or embarrassed to show the pictures to your parents, maybe you should rethink posting them.
