“A new “Wall of Shame” policy in Long Island makes one ask: are our drunk driving laws so ineffective that we have to resort to humilation as punishment and deterrent?”
A minor point… It’s “ON” Long Island, not “IN” Long Island…(and Queens and Brooklyn aren’t on Long Island even though it might look that way on a map) 
I don’t get the fuss. People aren’t arrested in secret in this country. Do you want to be arrested secretly, no one knows but you? You’re locked up and if I come looking for you they say they never heard of you? I don’t think so.
The names, addresses, mug shots etc. of everyone arrested are available to the press, or anyone, including Newsday, for the asking. They just don’t feel like doing the work to get most of them. Unless it’s a news worthy story. Now they get them on a disc.
