NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A Plainview, Long Island woman wants Nassau County's drunken driving 'Wall of Shame' taken down.
Mona Rivera reports
Alexandra Bursac, 27, is on that wall and she has filed a legal challenge. Her attorney Brian Griffin called the online gallery of mugshots unconstitutional because his client has pleaded not guilty and has not been convicted of anything.
Griffin said that by posting the names and photos of people who are arrested on drunken driving charges, County Executive Thomas Suozzi is punishing people who have not yet been found guilty of a crime.
Griffin wants Bursac to be removed from the county's Web site immediately.
Suozzi has defended the wall of shame as effective.
A judge is expected to rule soon in the case.
Bursac said the lawsuit has nothing to do with money -- she wants the Web site declared unconstitutional.
