O'Fallon Police are hoping the new initiative will bring attention to and hopefully deter the crime of shoplifting.
If you steal from a store and O'Fallon Police catch you, your mugshot will now be displayed on the department website. O'Fallon Police announced on Tuesday a new initiative to bring attention to—and deter—shoplifting in the city. Individuals who are arrested and charged with shoplifting will have the arrest date, location, and booking photo entered onto the police department’s website. The information will be updated regularly. “The impact of shoplifting is often underestimated and trivialized," O'Fallon Capt. Jeff Gray said in a news release, "The cost of shoplifting to both businesses and consumers alike is significant. This is part of our ongoing commitment to reduce shoplifting and shoplifting related crimes.”

Here’s the blow back (look it up if unfamiliar with the term) 1) These photos get co-opted by those in the "mug shot' industry who demand payoff to remove the picture from the web as a form of extrajudicial punishment.
