#1 ....the offenders .... might sue for defamation if their names and photographs were released. That's OK, they'd have to show up in court to sue and you could nab them there.

#4 "It's not a 'Wanted' poster, really . . . more of a 'We'd-Really-Like-To-Talk-To-Them-In-An-Aspirational-Sense' poster."

#5 Forces said that the offenders had a right to privacy and might sue for defamation if their names and photographs were released.

No, fugitives lose their rights.

#6 it's true, that's how defamation laws

but show some sense.

the cops are doing this to get the law repealed.

they could have done it anytime but they've timed it to maximum impact.

good work!

get the damn thing scrapped. defamation laws restrict freedom of speech

#7 After all, the one-year anniversary of 7/7 is approaching. They don't want to offend anyone.

#8 For crying out loud, how can people worry about the rights of those wanted for crimes when the names of those who have been convicted of crimes are publicized by news accounts of trials, convictions, and in public records? I recommend that trials be closed to the public, juries be eliminated (lest they leak the names of alleged or convicted criminals), and prisons be made completely secret. Not even the families of those convicted have a right to breach the privacy of their loved ones.

#9 I could be wrong (I base this on testimonies I've read on forums, so salt apply), but on a related issue, french cops are not allowed anymore to take ethnicity of the perp into account when taking a complaint from a victim. Don't know how that works for looking out after suspects, though.

#11 Welcome to the gruesome spectacle of Political Correctness biting itself on the @ss. This is proof that they are truly sucking their own butt.

#12 For years now the newspapers have refused to state race in their "Wanted" or Police reports, it gets quite funny when they try desperately to Not-Say the perp is black, but instead use language such as "Aprehended wearing a huge tee shirt, Ball Cap sideways on his forehead, baggy pants, huge atheletic shoes, and driving a black Honda with custom paint job, lowered body and gold custom wire wheels, the SUSPECT attracted Police attention by slouching very low in the driver's position, and was playing music at an excessively loud volume when stopped by Officer Krumpky for a routine traffic check the Officer noticed an odd smell of burning vegetation coming from the vehicle, and THE SUSPECT was then aprehended following a search by a trained drug sniffing Canine Officer (Dog) revealing the vehicle was carrying two pounds of crack cocaine under the front seat. Also siezed were fifty thousand dollars in bills under $20, and seven stolen handguns, four " SKS Assault Rifles", and forty pounds of gold chains, gold bracelets, diamond studded rings and gold earrings."

Gee, reckon he's a Mormon?
