I recall a similar poster campaign for TV licensing (a year or so ago) but at that time assumed (rightly or wrongly) that the names and addresses were fictional - just intended to give the message a more realistic / "personal" angle.

Interesting. Has anyone considered the necessity and proportionality of this approach?
It certainly has not figured in any of the debates so far.

On Cardiff Railway station is a poster containing a list of names, partial addresses and fines of people who travelled without a ticket. The information is of the form name, road, town, county, fine.

I have also seen this on Brighton railway station.
This is a list of individuals with a criminal record?
Interesting eh?
