Do the presenters of the Dutch America's Most Wanted purposely share 'embarressing' characteristics of the wanted persons?

Asked by rebbel (35550points) August 25th, 2010

This is a thing that i think i noticed while watching the Dutch version of this television program (in the UK it is Crime Watch, in Germany Aktenzeichen XY).
In almost any case, when they give the descriptions of the suspects, the presenters say things like: “Perpetrator 1 was wearing a black coat, grey trousers, white boots, and he has a strange, big pointy nose.”
Or; “The thief drove a green Yamaha bike, but what was remarkable was that he was way overweight.”
My question is if the producers (together with the police) do this on purpose, to annoy the wanted persons in such a way that they maybe are going to complain what the f.., these ass….s ridicule me, i am not fat at all… about that to friends, thus giving themselves away?
In short, can this be deliberate tactics?
Or do i think too high of the producers intelligence?
