If you don't think having your face posted on the internet even prior to conviction, with all this entails, is punishment, then I admire the reality distortion

If you don't think having your face posted on the internet even prior to conviction, with all this entails, is punishment, then I admire the reality distortion field that lets you see the world that way.
Speaking as someone who grew up in a sane country. (Norway).
- jMyles 8y agoI think you are correct, but that's just part of the problem that we've been convinced to attribute guilt even in the absence of proof, on the state's say-so alone. We need instead to presume that everybody who is arrested (and whose mugshot is posted) is innocent unless compelling evidence, based on sworn testimony, is presented. I don't see how adding secrecy is a solution to extrajudicial punishment.
