*Very* interesting all these artifacts that are in an
exhibition and apparently a book as well, titled: THE LEAST
WANTED, book reproducing also a lot of these old
mugshots.
But I really wonder... these documents IMHO really belong to
historical/ national sociological archives or museum
collections, and I am really puzzled to see that they are
exhibited with names and facts concerning the people
appearing on these photos. Worse, they are on sale... They're
old, OK, but they are not from the 19th century! so I wonder
if it is legal to display names...etc of people in trouble
with the police?? Even 50 years after the facts, is there
nothing protecting the families and prohibiting this kind of
information to be publicly displayed??
I'm sure that in a lot of other countries you are not allowed
to do this.
