Dream Stealer
So I check somdnewsnet every day to see local news. They are getting sort of ridiculous and I was wondering if anyone else had the same issues I do with it **Ill preface this with I do not know anyone in the story i'm posting, its just an observation.**
This for instance:
http://smnewsnet.com/archives/320583/couple-caught-stealing-pet-supplies-in-california/
"The female was detained and released, and it is unknown at this time if charges are pending against her. Police on scene were heard telling her she would be charged later by criminal citation with theft, and that she was seen holding the backpack while Smith placed items in it."
FIRST...I am already a little iffy on why they insist on posting a bunch of pictures of people who commit petty crimes. I need to see pics of child molesters and murderers..not shoplifters..that picture is there forever, no matter if the person is ever CONVICTED or not. And if they weren't, or had it expunged that picture is still there; a definite threat to regular employment and continuing a productive life.
Second..the italized text is what was in the article.. and they decided to plaster her picture on the internet associated with a crime because they "overheard" she was getting a citation?
I already know the arguments somders will have "well don't break the law then" but this sort of proves you can have your reputation smeared, along with high def photos without a conviction of any sort. and if she does not get a citation or is proven to not have committed a crime, gets the arrest record expunged, that pic will still be there as I know for a fact they will not remove it, only add a small statement to that affect if you push it and hound them.
