  • I will never understand the need to name and shame suspects in a criminal case before they have been found guilty. Something like this is entirely unthinkable in most European countries, except in super high profile cases where the suspect is well known and trying to keep their identity hidden is entirely hopeless, or the interest of the public is too great.

    What if a suspect is found innocent? They will forever have that stigma attached to themselves anyway, complete with photo and all. It implies an infalability of the executive and judicative systems that is a total illusion: if charged, they will be guilty, so here is their photo and home address.
