This holiday season, the UK police will be using Twitter to publicly shame drivers stopped for drunk driving. I like the idea.

What does Oppo think?

Sounds like a good idea. If you drive drunk you should be shamed.

I wrote a controversial opinion and deleted it. Deal with it.

No problem!

You're entitled to your opinions, and you're entitled to your delete button.

I may write a piece on it a bit later. Because then I can delete it. Comments are forever.

I'm OK with this. Yes, yes, I get the whole innocent until proven guilty thing, but if you're drunk, its usually not open to interpretation.

The article mentions that the names are only published if charges are made, which is public information anyways. I look forward to the results of this, see what impacts it has and what lessons can be learned, if any.
