Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi has revamped its DWI "Wall of Shame". Suozzi sought to publicize DWI arrests after a police officer was critically injured when a drunk driver hit him--the officer was in his cruiser on the LIE having just pulled over another DWI driver--and released names, addresses, and photos of arrestees. Now Suozzi has removed offenders under 19, after parents complained and the fact that the youngsters could be given "youthful offender" status. Note: One of the complaining parents was a Suozzi contributor whose 17-year-old daughter was pulled over.
