Got this link from an Indian collegue at work ....
Police in India shaming people by posting their snaps while they were busy flouting rules/law ..

Some snaps are funny .. But the bigger question is this - Does this campaign constitute invasion of privacy - if this were to happen here?

1. Orwell was right
he was just off by a few years, and he failed to foresee that we'd all be holding the cameras.

2. It's public behavior.

It looks like a waste of police time, but the messages aren't wrong and I don't think it's a violation of privacy.

3. It happens in this town
People who get popped for DUI get their mug shots published, in glorious color, one weekend a month.

Most of 'em are pathetic. You want to smack the smirkers.

I think the paper is hoping shame will push them a little more toward the bottom so they'll get help.
