OPINION  |  LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thursday's photo was inappropriate

I was highly offended by the picture in the Alligator today of the young man arrested for theft. I would appreciate photos to be more informative and less sensational. To publish a picture of a suspect in the middle of a strip search before he's even been proven guilty is in very bad taste. It didn't add anything to the story and violated this 17-year-old's privacy.
