This is more Govt. waste .They just want to have an excuse too be on facebook during working hours.I bet they are all playing that farm game.

Playing the devil's advocate here: What about those who may be not only unaware of said outstanding warrants, are seemingly guilty until proven innocent? Not to mention their loss of reputation and credibility with family and friends.

CHANGE.

It's a good idea and saves money on all the paper being used in post offices. Let's face it, who actually goes to post offices anymore anyway?

They are talking about fugitives not traffic violators. These people are on the run and are hiding, they already know that they have committed a crime. The more information out there the better and the more the public sees these faces the safer everyone can be. I don't want a person who is wanted for murder, rape, or some other violent crime walking the streets.
