I think it’s a GREAT IDEA!!! Here’s why…It could possible cause a shuffle between the “employed” and the “un-employed”. Maybe it will cost someone their job BUT create a new job for someone else. I will take a job anyway I can…even if it means exposing one’s personal info.

Okay; if you want to expose one’s personal info; let’s expose it all! No holding back on anyone; every last detail - juveniles and their info too. Let there be no right to privacy; heck; let’s just do away with rights all together. THAT’S THE DIRECTION WE’RE HEADED!

Is it Constitutional is the question. If you are a suspect in a rape case, can they post that on Twitter?

I suspect who of what….? A lie published? guilty is one thing, to be subjected to public ridicule, because ‘someone’ ‘suspects’ ‘something’ Oh Joe McCarthy where are you when we need you…

What’s the difference, they post names in the paper all the time if it’s a high profile case, they don’t wait until their found guilty..

It’s a simple click in your browser to find this information anyway. It’s public information. And Dave, yes, if you are a suspect in a rape case, and indicted or incarcerated for it, it is public information. The victim’s name is not. By most of these comments I gather that many don’t actually know what their rights are.

You guys are freaking idiots. The front page of this site alone gvies you a link to the county jails. You think people in there are all serving a sentence? No, most of them are awaiting trial. Which means they have not been proven guilty or innocent yet. Jesus people, go educate yourselves on your rights and learn how to protect yourselves.

Unconstitutional! BTW - DDN should stop publishing Mug Shots too. Those people haven’t even been convicted yet and they have to be exposed by you. WRONG! It is things like this stripping our freedoms, not gov’t policy.

BS on unconstitutional. Sixth Amendment, Bill of Rights: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. Would you rather that all courts be made private? Woulld you really trust your lawyers and judges to rule without concern of public approval? Like I said, educate yourself and you might actually be able to have intelligent arguments.

Shameful on how society to so interested in everybody else’s business. This is stupid and it is not going to shame anyone from not drinking and driving. Why do we have drive thru’s if they don’t want people drinking and driving.

This could save lives. I think it’s a great idea. No, it’s not private info. They post suspect in the newspaper all the time.

Ok. fair game. Just hope the police dont mind when officers that are accussed of wrong doing are put on twitter too. Gee, I wonder if the FOP would have a problem with that?

Since JFK, BJB, Teddy K, Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods got caught in passionate action but not doing it good, their claims to fame causing no pain or shame. What is all the fuss about the rest of us or the best of us? According to the media whores, what is there to be ashamed of anymore? Being pro-life or being with and faithful to one heterosexual husband or wife at a time for life?

I think it is DEFINITELY wrong. A lot of little “podunk” papers, like the Beavercreek News, post police reports and court proceedings. Of course, the court proceedings are AFTER the person has had his/her day in court. I think that’s wrong, too. It’s public record, yes. But JUST WHO THE HE11 ARE THE PAPERS TO PRINT IT? Much like this little podunk paper posts names and addresses of men who attempt to solicit undercover cops for prostitution. One, it’s entrapment and two, it’s NOT up to the DDN to alert his neighbors and family of wrong doing. Guess it’s supposed to “shame” them. I sy SHAME ON THE PAPER!!!

For SUSPECTED DUI? Even if they do this it will not deter people for driving drunk. Thanks in large part to the media, now a person is considered guilty until he/she proves themselves innocent.

It’s just wrong, plain and simple. Posting court records after trial is a matter of public record, but Twitter??? That’s adangerous slope you’re on. The other poster are correct about mugshots on DDN. There are a lot of people who get locked up for a night on false accusations but their mugshots linger for a very long time…. In my opinion these pictures are only posted to encourage folks to visit the webpage as they otherwise serve no constructive purpose.

I like the idea only after they are found guilty a second time. Anyone can make a mistake once and should be given a second chance. However, repeat offenders should be dealt with much more harshly than they are currently. It is only a matter of time before they take a life. A car in the hands of a drunk or doped up person is a weapon.

Sure if they “tweet”on all the lawyers,judges,local leaders,and fellow officers caught,oh I forgot, they just give them a ride home,and they are not allowed to use taxpayer money, to fight all the lawsuits to follow,brilliant idea!!
