Why aren't public shaming a form of punishment for out legal system?

On a related note, let me add that medieval times (when humiliation was common) were very different from now. There was no Internet back then, for one thing.

If something like this happened today, you would quickly see online searchable databases where everyone can see every crime anyone ever committed. This record would follow you everywhere in the world for the rest of your life.

It's just too draconian.

 

People can do that anyways.

Aren't there any laws against this sort of stuff?

Anyway my point still stands... it would be much more pervasive if public humiliation became the norm.
