Web site shames wild poopers

Here's a story that perhaps poses a dilemma for those subscribing to the principles of PoopReport.com. Norwegian officials at the waterfall Vøringfossen are posting on their web site photos of visitors caught on camera relieving themselves [1] on the road between Bergen and Oslo.

"Too many people are using the woods as a toilet," said Lise Nilsen, who's responsible for Vøringfossen's web site. As a result, people "are stepping on excrement and the trails stink of urine. Something had to be done."

So they posted a sign asking tourists to use public toilets and warning them that they may be photographed and outed on the
waterfall's web site [2]. If you visit the site, you'll see that it would be impossible to identify any of those caught in the act from these photos. Nevertheless, they seem to be aiming for clear, identifying shots.

So: playing the Shameful card to get people to be more responsible shitters and pissers. A proper use of technology? A scandalous infringement on civil rights? What do we PoopReporters think?
