I am skeptical of how effective this will be.  Lack of shame is very high on the list of reasons why this country is rotting.

While this is a true statement, I still cool with with publicly shaming dirt bad thieves.

This. There are more than a couple of stores/gas stations in my AO that do the same thing.

That reminds me of living in Boston where liquor stores in areas full of college kids cover the walls in all the fake/stolen DL they confiscate from underage college kids.

"Very nice" meme

It might not necessary be an issue for many that don't work and live on the gov but having a coworker see your face plastered up in a store front in a very public place for stealing a thousand worth of merch could get you fired from some jobs.

Oh absolutely.  It can’t hurt.  Might actually make a difference with a couple of them.

Small town liquor store/gas station here does it.  It works and I've let them know I appreciate the public shaming.

The Ace Hardware close to me does the same thing. One thief absconded with a Stihl saw, the other a front tine tiller, Husqvarna I think.  Their pictures are 8x10 on the front door, the cashiers counter and the wall behind the cashiers.

Good idea.  Even better to spread word that the perp is working with cops to bust fencing & avoid jail time.

This is due to the lack of shamers however, is my theory.  People are afraid to stand up for what they believe in and to criticize abberant behavior, so it continues.

We should bring back stocks and public flogging ,  being stuck in stocks for a few days on display,  or getting 20 lashes in town Square would do more to curb bad behavior than 6 month jail sentences. It's much cheaper too.

Public shaming as well as corporal punishment  are  very effective tools, which need to return in a big way. getting paddled in public school hurt more embarrassment wise than physically,  and the worst offenders in our society / biggest criminals seem to be REALLY big in the respect / embarrassed / disrespect area.

My barber had a wall of shame for bounced  checks.   When a guy died, he pinned the obituary next to it.

I always paid that dude in cash.

While I like you enthusiasm I want you to stop and think.  

Blood eagle takes a lot of work, both in the creation and display.  Head on pike takes like ten minutes minus hand washing.

When we propose "radical" solutions to modern problems, we need to have an explanation of the logistics ready.

You can't shame those people, they know no shame.  They feel they are entitled.

Sure you can, but mug shots won't do it.

Our society has went heavy into being compassionate / respectful in the areas of punishment as well as dealing with bad behavior, crime,  societal issues, like laziness, obesity, whoring, unwed mothers, welfare, etc and it's failing badly across the board and bad shitty behavior and crimehas exploded.

No! Californians encourage shoplifting, this can't be true.
I see pictures(mugshots😂) all of the time posted on the entrance doors stores around here.

A few stores do it here, the place I get dog food has a big board of face shots of people they caught stealing on camera.

It's all the usual suspects, even mix of black and white, but all trashy looking.

A local bar I frequented in my youth would post the names of the patrons who were overdue on their tabs.
Pretty much everybody knew everybody there.
It worked.

Since this is CA the city, county, state, or any combination of this will come down on the store and threaten them with fines and prosecution for violating the rights and/privacy of the shoplifters. Canada did the same when people posted videos of porch pirates stealing their packages. Fucking vile leftist scum.,

There are a few small stores in my rural area that have a board with copies of bad checks on them.

I like the idea.  Perhaps another criminal could use the routing and account information to steal the thieves identity or bank information.

Justice (or at least payback) might actually be served.
