It was not a black-and-white case and several people were arrested who had committed no crime but being present in a bad scenario-- however, this is not clear in the plotter, as only the names and the arrest are publicized and I have experienced the shame and degrading experience of having my full name, hometown and age publicly cut down-- nonetheless available online for anyone to judge me prematurely and superficially without the verdict and/ or full story. I think it is unnecessary to publicly display minor arrests and begs me to ask the question: is it really necessary?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-62725003490483865302010-07-10T22:44:04.531-04:002010-07-10T22:44:04.531-04:00Let me clarify, in response to a comment I receive...Let me clarify, in response to a comment I received: I don't mean to discount the seriousness of DWIs or other misdemeanors.
