Almost every day, several accidents are reported, and the accident victims require the assistance of passers-by. The greatest tragedy of current times, however, is that instead of transporting the victim to a local hospital, others gathered around them continue to film the injured person who is fighting for their life. Therefore, the study analyzes why first responders prefer video accident victims to help them. The objectives of the study were to find out if the habit of filming accident victims by first responders is rampant in the Enugu metropolis, to ascertain the motive behind filming accident victims by first responders, and to determine the perception of Enugu metropolis residents on the filming of accident victims by first responders. The study was anchored on the Diffusion of Innovation theory. The researcher employed the survey research method to execute the study. The researcher studied a population of 1,092,668 using a sample size of 400. The researcher discovered that the habit of first responders filming accident victims is rampant in the Enugu metropolis, and the motive behind first responders filming accident victims is to make social media posts. The researcher recommended, among others, that people should endeavor to help accident victims first before filming. It was also recommended that a law be enacted to punish offenders who film first rather than help accident victims.
