After I read the news “Emergency driver 'who gave revelers a lift' suspended” in BBC News, it makes me think about an idiom “Walls have ears” which is similar to a Thai idiom that means when we want to say or do something, we should be careful because someone may be listening or noticing.
According to the news, Freelance photographer Paul King can take photographs of a paramedic's vehicle in which the driver is picking a group of female revelers in Berkshire. This driver is an employee of MediForce Ltd which is a private contractor providing emergency ambulance vehicles and staff for South Central Ambulance Service. This inappropriate use of ambulance is considered a serious problem, so the driver would remain suspended until the probe is complete.
Actually, I don’t like the way that paparazzi work because it violates human’s private right. However, this is a good job because the photographer captured the incident that is morally wrong. The driver should not use the ambulance which is not his own car to pick up other people during his working period. The ambulance should be available to pick up a patient to a hospital, not to pick up others to their private places as taxi. Therefore, the driver should be punished if he used others’ asset as his own without owner’s permission.
