In Germany, calling someone by a crime they have been sentenced of, constitutes defamation.
What? That makes no sense whatsoever.
Why does it not make sense? If I was involved in a robbery at age 18, as a dumb kid, should I still be called "robber xyz" for the rest of my life? Especially if I turned my life around?
