Michelle, you’re right to be concerned. Shaming is not part of the American judicial system.

In an effort to “protect” society from criminals that well-meaning folks think are a special danger, the rights of us all are being trampled. Civil forfeiture in criminal cases, the sex offender registry, and this sort of program are all right on the edge of costing us more in freedom than they provide in protection.
