ACLU Objects to Posting Photos of Those Convicted of Prostitution

WILMINGTON, Del. (WBOC/AP)- Civil liberty advocates are objecting to New Castle County's new effort to fight prostitution: posting offenders' names and photos on a Web site.

The new Web site features photos of convicted prostitutes and their clientele. The police say they hope it will discourage others from committing the same crimes.

But Delaware ACLU Executive Director Drew Fennell said public humiliation should not be used as a law enforcement tactic. He said the photos are degrading not only to the individual, but the person's family, friends and employer.

Isn't it strange they don't want a criminal prostitutes picture to be released to the public, but could care less about releasing photos that could endanger our troops?

Yes but Abu Ghraib photos guaranteed to cause the killing of US soldiers? That's guaranteed by our constitution!

And what recourse did surviving family member have against Newsweak magazine for printing bogus Koran-in-the-toilet stories?

Newsweak said 'Oops!' and that was about it.

Don't be convicted of prostitution, and you won't have your picture posted. Next difficult question?

"...the photos are degrading not only to the individual, but the person's family, friends and employer."

So is prostitution. Maybe if social degenerates had a little more shame, there'd be a lot less crime.

Our grassroots effort to fight the ACLU is growing. We now have over 115 blogs protesting the ACLU every Thursday. One of our supporters has put together a message for America. Check it out.

Damn it, then why do they keep posting them?

Don't like abortions don't have one. Don't like pictures of whores, stop looking...

I think we should post pictures of all the ALCU lawyers and activits, sort by location, with notes on cases they have supported.

Man, you cannot make this stuff up. According to the ACLU, the public has a right to see more pictures taken almost two years ago of terrorists with panties on their heads, but not to see pictures of known prostitutes and their clients.

They aren't.

They are TRYING to, but it is patently impossible to humiliate those who have no shame.

Underlying reason--there may be too many of the ACLU members being caught--who knows?:)
