HMMMM,,,, aren't the "hundreds" of people arrested between publications part of the next publication? If is is public record, aren't the names of the arresting police officers part of that public record? Just to be FAIR, why not publish thier names also? Just to be fair.

Just to be,,,, FAIR,,, why wasn't the name and picture of that congressman that was arrested for drunk driving published just before the November 4th election? Maybe would have compromised his re-election. Let me guess, must have been between publications. Maybe we should publish everybody who is late on thier water bill. Isn't that public information also?

is it really that important to you to have a police officer or congressman's picture in this publication when it's already plastered on every news broadcast + website, plus all the local papers??? I guess if you want to publish a paper containing pics of ALL mug shots plus those late of their water bill, you're more than welcome to.

Who in the world would want to know that?? What information can be used from knowing this? This is nothing more than a cheap and dispicable means of "making a buck" at other peoples mistakes. How long will they be punished? Maybe the court should count the number of issues their name will be placed in this "issue" as time served?

Not sure what all the hoopla is about here.. All this information is public.. You can buy the paper, or look it up for free:

He wasn't arrested in Kent County. You should be arrested for TWS - Typing while Stupid.

It's rank hypocrisy that the coward who publishes this tabloid piece of schlock refuses to disclose his identity.

Ok this ridiculous! i can understand like a murder charge and mug shot or a rape mug shot, but this could put people in harms way. For example jobs, reputations, crazy stalker people someone got in trouble with, charges that have been dropped. like what about those people. and who are you from Florida!, not living in Michigan possibly have in mind with this offensive article??

If you do the crime and your found guilty you do your time in jail...it's not right to plaster their faces all over magazines. Especially the woman who was found NOT GUILTY and yet her face is STILL shown in this magazine. If I were her, I would most definitely sue! It not only slanders her name but it could jeopardize her job and reputation! People will do anything to make a buck these days...and sometimes it's absolutely sick!

They should publish the officers name. I would love to thank each one of them if I saw them. Douche bag criminals deserve to be in a paper. They are a drain on society. Waisting tax payers money by committing crimes.

We are supposed to be innocent until PROVEN guilty in America.

This guy is kind of like that jerk that runs RipOffReport. He won't allow his name to be known, but he is willing to ruin the reputation and good name of other people.

What if it were a case of mistaken identity here?

On the other hand, if this is public information, kudos for a quick way to make a buck. Even though I don't agree with it!

Maybe some of those 20 time drunk drivers will finally get the message and be refused service somewhere for the sake of others with this out there.

You break the law you have the right to be humiliated just like the rest of us.

Daily Horoscope for June 3

Capricorn

You're much more positive than you were yesterday, which is a relief for both you and me! At least this will help you to take action, instead of sitting around feeling helpless or panicky. Right now you're interested in philosophical, spiritual and religious topics, and hope that they'll help you get more meaning out of life and they'll reveal why you're experiencing your current problems.
