Hope Police DepartmentĪ month earlier, police in East Liverpool, Ohio, posted on Facebook photos of a woman and her friend unconscious in a car with her 4-year-old grandson in the back. This image has been digitally manipulated to obscure her face. Police released an image of Erika Hurt unconscious at the wheel of a car with a needle in her hand on Oct. The police chief said he was surprised by the backlash, but did not regret the photo. Her mother said she received hate messages. Police gave a similar explanation in Hope, Indiana, after they distributed a picture in late October of a young woman passed out in a car with her 10-month-old son in the back. O'Neill said he stands by the move, and believes it served its purpose. Some praised the move, while others accused the police of using shaming tactics. Last week, his department posted a picture on Facebook of a man passed out at the wheel of a car. Jim O'Neill, the police chief of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, said his message in releasing such photos is clear: "We want to raise awareness and make sure people understand that this kind of thing is around."

Police in East Liverpool, Ohio released an image of a couple overdosed in the front seat with their son in the back seat of their car. Their sole goal, they say, was to get residents of their own communities to recognize that they were not immune from America's opioid epidemic.īut the photos have opened a new front in the drug battle, with addiction experts and some criminal justice researchers saying the photos violate people's privacy and fuel the shame and stigma that keeps addicts from seeking help - and push the problem into the shadows. Police chiefs who've distributed the photos in recent months - in Ohio, Massachusetts and Indiana - say they had no intention of making the images go viral.
