It looks obsessive, but why do most of you hate the look vs the presence?

Because that isn't policing and no one would ever turn in a drug dealer to a group of people that look like that? What about those guys says that they are welcoming to receiving info from responsible citizens? Who t.f. wants a swat team patrolling their streets?

I'd like to think that a kid might see that and be turned off by it.

That's how Euro police have looked for 30 years.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #30 on:** April 12, 2017, 08:20:03 AM »

Hell even Euro airport police. All they need is an assault rifle and German Shepard.

My favorite part of the costume is the sunglasses.

I mean Kendall Jenner wouldn't even want to approach those cops with a Pepsi.

Did you see how the guy on the far right walked out of the room? 100% guarantee he would fangirl over getting a pepsi from Kendall Jenner.

Turned off by what, becoming a cop?

SdK parents told me that when we lived in Germany, '85-'90, that if the Polizei told you to stop and you chose to run you were shot.

Particularly the guy on the far left. Does he even have eye holes?

Oh you're back to that. Police really shouldn't be in the business of shaming people. I also don't think that picture will deter a single person from taking heroin. I would be quite surprised if someone took heroin without knowing death is a potential consequence, peer pressure and the need for a fix are much stronger pulls than cops shaming strangers at their lowest moment.

Criminals are shamed all the time, small town newspapers publish blotter, mug shots etc.

There is research that shock advertising does work as a deterrent.

Didn't KC used to have "John TV" where they showed people who had been arrested for solicitation of prostitution?

catastrophe · « **Reply #42 on:** April 13, 2017, 08:09:19 AM »

My biggest problem with whatever that was is that it's like the police did not even want their identities to be known.

I got shamed on the radio a few times on KMAN. Not fun. Maybe that's because I'm not a career criminal. I don't know.

SdK · « **Reply #46 on:** April 13, 2017, 09:51:11 AM »

Anywho, it sucked, but I was pretty deep in my addiction so it deterred nothing. I was beholden to the booze and I did what the liquor had me do.

It is embarrassing. I even lost a job over my name being in the paper for a charge that was dropped in video court the day after I was arrested. As paperwork had not been taken care of at the DA's office leading the RCPD to arrest me.

I don't THINK anyone THINKS this kind of thing deters users. More for kids

Great idea to have kids growing up scared crapless of police.

Reading who got busted for open container, mip, dui, etc in the Collegian was the best part of many lectures
