Bricking the Law

In this intriguing episode, we uncover a unique clash between a police department and the iconic toy company LEGO. The controversy began when the police started using LEGO figures to obscure the faces of suspects in mugshots posted on social media, prior to their conviction. LEGO, protective of its intellectual property, called out the police department for this unconventional practice. We'll dive into the legal, ethical, and social implications of this method, discussing intellectual property rights, privacy issues, and the creative lengths to which law enforcement goes to adhere to the presumption of innocence.
