City of Huntington Beach to post DUI arrests on Facebook?

The local newspaper in Huntington Beach has stopped posting the names of DUI suspects. Now the police department is considering posting the names of those arrested for DUI on the city's Facebook page.

The intention behind the idea is to make people think twice about getting behind the wheel after drinking. The city is hoping that the public humiliation will convince you to call a taxi.

The Los Angeles Times reports, "A July report by the city said there is "a significant DUI problem in Huntington Beach," citing 274 alcohol-related collisions and 1,687 drunk-driving arrests last year — one of the highest rates in the state for a city its size."

What do you think about this new idea to cut down on drinking and driving? After all DUI arrest records are public information, but do they have to the right to broadcast it on its social media page like an advertisement?
