GULITY AT TESCO LOTUS

I've just got back from a quick trip to my local Tesco Lotus express convenience store. I've been before but this time they had something different - and I am not talking about food

At the checkout they had four or five black and white images - taken from their CCTV security camera. I don't need to understand Thai to know that the people in these images - and there was a helpful arrow to clearly make the point - are of people whom are suspected of shoplifting.

I don't know about the 'innocent until proved guilty' concept here, or indeed how the fact that some of these people are obviously young applies in these situations. One thing is clear though - and that's the shame and embarrassment caused to those who have been pictured.
