There is little support in parliament for plans to fine private individuals who place photos and videos of suspected criminals on the internet, the AD reports on Tuesday.

The CPB privacy watchdog supports the introduction of fines of up to €25,000 for infringements of privacy, but MPs say that would be a ‘completely wrong signal’, the paper says.
‘Burglars infringe your privacy by breaking into your home or wrecking your shop. But you, as victim, could get a massive fine for putting their photo on the internet? This would be a totally wrong signal,’ CDA MP Madeleine van Toorenburg told the paper.
She said the draft legislation had no chance of succeeding.
Name and shame
The CPB believes the police and public prosecution department should be the only parties allowed to name and shame suspected crooks.
Labour MP Jeroen Recourt said his party is ‘not exactly enthusiastic’ about the plan. It is good to get the public to help the police solve crimes, he said.
Nevertheless, measures had to be taken to make sure the internet hunt for criminals does not get out of hand, he said. This could include requiring private citizens to contact the police before going public with videos or photos.
