Shoplifting Posters

The Timaru Herald reports:

A poster featuring Timaru shoplifters has been temporarily withdrawn after a woman laid a complaint with the Independent Police Complaints Authority over her inclusion.

The complaint can take two main forms:

  1. I am not a shoplifter, have never been a shoplifter and should not be on the poster as I have never shoplifted.
  2. I have shoplifted but it is a breach of my right to shoplift if you include me in the poster

Nothing in the article suggests it is scenario 1.
