New Zealand law didn't allow police to put a picture of an underage suspect on a "wanted" poster. So they used a picture of actor Robbie Coltrane instead.

I'm so ashamed.
On the other hand, if I see a 16yo verison of Robbie Coltrane walking around, I guess I know what to do now.Comment

Couldn't they have used a sketch or something? Isn't that a tad-bit dangerous for them to be using his picture for something like that?Comment

I was wondering that too. I'd think Coltrane would be within his rights to sue for defamation of character.Quoth Broomjockey View Post

I'm not sure about defamation of character, since they're clear he isn't wanted, but I'd say it's a good bet they don't have a copyright permission on that image.
