I suspect the reason Obsid didn't allow it was because its against the law to 
distribute photos of people and identify them as criminals before they have 
been actually charged, prosecuted and convicted. If you do something like this 
and it's a case of mistaken identity or just suspicion, you've publicly accused 
someone of criminality which is really damaging to that person. And it is also 
defamatory. Which may not matter to most people, because the feeling is these 
guys are just crooks anyway, but it will matter a lot if an innocent person's 
face is ID'd as a criminal through an action like this. 

So I doubt SAPS would allow it either.
