A Huntington Beach councilmen is asking the local police department to post photos on a Facebook page of repeated DUI offenders in order to shame the people who are breaking the law.
The councilmen is hoping that by shaming the offenders, it will stop others from doing it also because they will not want everyone to know what they have done.
The original request was that everyone who was arrested for a DUI be put on the page, but it was then cut back to just repeat offenders. The request was scaled back in order to gain more support from other council members. Residents of the area and privacy advocates do no support the plan.
