Gwent Police Warn People Mocking Wanted Jermain Taylor's Hair

[kossoff]

From the headline, I thought the police wanted to warn people not to do it because he is a violent criminal. Seems not.

Gwent Police warn people mocking wanted Jermaine Taylor's hair

There have been nearly 90,000 comments since Gwent Police posted Jermaine Taylor's picture.

www.bbc.com

Let the jokes and puns commence. Obviously nothing offensive though as you wouldn't want prosecuting.

The police are actually wasting their time doing this.,
What a shambles.

"However, when the line is crossed from being funny to abusive, we do have to make sure we are responsible and remind people to be careful about what they write on social media."

Where is this imaginary line that they mention?

Wonder what he asks for at the barbers..a 'back combed Lescott' maybe??

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Bangs up to rights when he's caught.

One of the comments on Gwent Polices Facebook..'are yous combing the area' made me chuckle like,and 'his release date should be put back further than his hairline'.

There were 80k+ comments yesterday. From the few dozen I glanced at, all were hair puns.
They've just stated a law, they're not stopping people from ripping it out of the lad.

Them doing this has not only got a few people frothing over nowt, but has put their wanted person campaign to the most read story on the BBC. Good work IMO.

I enjoyed this related story linked to that page:

Former model Stephen Murphy did not like the image used by Lincolnshire Police, so he put up his own.

Someone suggested they check Edinburgh as they’re hosting the fringe festival
That tickled me.



For my twopenneth, I think that they should mock wanted criminals more often.

 

[Hair Flick]

Is he wanted for arson? Looks like a twisted firestarter

What, preventing crime with some advice which took someone, possibly a civilian, a whole few seconds? How dare they. I have not read any of the comments other than those posted by the BBC, but if the wanted criminal or someone else makes a complaint the police will have to investigate them. Isn't that more a waste of time?
