Bring back the stocks

Obviously would never happen and more for a joke but I would genuinely love to see the public stocks come back for petty crimes such as phone theft, shoplifting.

Middle of Trafalgar Square (Or any public square) - Monday to Friday of criminals in public stocks just being pelted with rotten fruit and veg whilst all being live-streamed on social media (suspects will become recognised a lot more)

Someone can set up some stands to sell rotten fruit/veg to tourists and make it an attraction.

Would like to think the public humiliation would deter criminals more.
