I was listening to the radio the other day and it was about how this geezer who got caught with cocaine and a gun. The police used his mugshot on a poster and said basically: if you break the law then you ultimately you will end up in jail like this bloke. He was already in jail and has already been dealt his sentence, he is serving his term in prison just now. He is sueing the police because they used his face without his permission, he said that he should be left in peace to serve his time as he has already been punished for the crime and he never realised that his face would be used in this way before he commited the crime.
You could say that now that he is a well known criminal he and his family will be subject to vigilante attacks, his chances of reoffending are high because he will always have to deal with this even if you tries to become clean and live an honest and decent life, he will always be thought of as a criminal. You could also say that if he is a criminal and therefore deserves to get is identity used in this way then every other criminal should have their identity exposed in the same fashion and anything but this would be unfair.
Alternatively you could say that he deserves it because he has broken the law and should deal with the consequences, already under the law when you are convicted of a crime your identity is unveiled anyway and by publishing it does nothing criminal in itself, all it does is make it widely available to the public.
As I see it, I cant actually say that he has done anything seriously wrong, cocaine never used to be illegal up until the wars, he is mearly selling a controlled substance, that isnt a big deal to me. This problem is only a problem because of the government's policy. Guns in Britain also never used to be illegal either and since the ban the gun crime has also went through the roof, this is also a government created problem. I think he has a case, he has already been punished for his crime and to blacken his reputation forever is abit harsh, he didnt even kill anybody with his gun.
