The headline on a poster showing four convicted Hamilton rapists could incite hate speech against Muslim people.

A poster with photos and details of four rapists with the heading "Beware Mohammed" has been plastered on a transformer at a busy Hamilton intersection.

The poster is not illegal, because the details are factually correct.

However, Canterbury University dean of law Ursula Cheer said there may be grounds to lay a complaint to the Human Rights Commission on the possibility of inciting hate speech.

The poster, which is glued to a transformer near the corner of Alexandra and Collingwood streets in the CBD shows the pictures of convicted men Abdirahim Sheik Mohamed Guled (Mohamed Guled), Keyse Aiwi Abdi, Mohamed Essa and Mohammed Sahib.

All but Essa were working for taxi companies at the time of the offending. Essa posed as a taxi driver.
