Posting the offenders’ names would not be to embarrass people, but to send a message that the Huntington Beach Police Department is enforcing DUIs, police Lt. Russell Reinhart told the Huntington Beach Independent.

Police submitted a report to the City Council this month identifying drinking and driving as a “significant problem” in the city.

Some residents say the online list is a good idea.

“I actually think it might be effective and I don’t really see really any down side to it,” supporter Dan Harbs told KTLA.

But not everyone agrees with the idea.

“A DUI in itself is a deterrent usually, hopefully, and I don’t think you need to punish people any further,” said opponent Lorraine Keseloff.

Over the last three years the department has made, on average, a reported 1,700 DUI arrests a year.

In my opinion posting anyone’s name who is suspected DUI online is pure criminal. Being convicted of DUI is another story, but many DUI arrests are made in an unjustified way and many people suspected of drunk driving are innocent.

The new Baltimore Ravens wide receiver donned shoulder pads on Friday, his first action since pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter last year.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Stallworth said that he intends to “move forward” and “try to continue my life as a I know it.”

In March 2009, the former Cleveland Browns standout was driving in Florida when his car struck and killed 59-year-old Mario Reyes. Stallworth served 24 days in jail and was suspended by the NFL for the entire 2009 season.

Stallworth said he will never forget what happened, but hopes be remembered for something other than what he termed “the situation.”

From a fantasy football perspective the addition of Stallworth as well as Boldin should only open things up for Ravens QB Joe Flacco and even star back Ray Rice as well. While quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Schaub, Phil Rivers, Tony Romo, Tom Brady and even Brett Favre will be drafted in all 2010 fantasy leagues before Flacco you can get some really good value on him in rounds 5-7 if you decide to draft backs, receivers and/or a star tight end in the first 4 rounds.
