This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition At present the Uk is in the grip of a movement to limit the rights of newspapers and other news outlets to publish the names of any suspect
More details
Since 1997 successive governments have started to limit the rights of individuals to report on certain suspects.This has been put forward again by the police inspectors.The police inspectors are more and more over stepping the bounds of there authority by infringing on the rights of individuals to know the truth of all suspects.
We cannot allow the police to move this country any nearer to a police state than it is now.
We must ensure that safeguards are put in place to stop the police in there tracks and bring them back to a place in the past,where the rights of the individual took precedence over the money making schemes of the police inspectors.
The government must put in place new rights that protect the individual and ensure that the freedom of speech and expression are paramount.
