Petition Anonymity until proven guilty
More details
The media on a regular basis particularly during high profile incidents release the name of the suspect accused of committing a crime, along with other details surrounding that individuals personal life. The saying "innocent until proven guilty" stands out so the individual should remain anonymous until proved guilty by a court of law, and until then the media should be prevented in releasing information about the individual, including their identity, address etc
