Make it illegal for the press to name people arrested until they've been charged

Petition Details

As recent events have proven, often the press will name people arrested and snoop into their private lives as well as quiz friends, family and neighbours. There can be no benefit to this especially in high profile cases with global attention.

Require anonymity until a charge has been brought.
