Why does the blog post show their photographs? That seems unnecessary to me.
- edent 2y agoBecause they are convicted criminals. This isn't a case of showing photographs of suspects. They've all pled guilty. Showing their faces accomplishes three main things. 1. It disambiguates them from people who share their names. You can now see that it isn't the Callum Picari you went to school with. 2. It acts as a warning to the community. You may have been a victim of these people, but not known their names. Seeing a photo might jog your memory and enable you to report further crimes. 3. It is a disincentive. If you are planning on committing a crime, you will know that your face will be in the media if caught.

- enneff 2y agoI think having your face shown is the least of your worries if you’re convicted of a crime like this.
- pixl97 2y agoFalse convictions are a completely different problem. Now, this is a good reason not to show suspects that are not found guilty, but once found guilty that's a different story. Hence, if you're found guilty and it's false, you need an exoneration.
