Ban publishing information about people accused of crimes until proven guilty

Petition Details

I want the government to prevent the names and photos of people accused of crimes from being released until they are proven guilty. I do not think that newspapers should be allowed to put people’s jobs and safety at risk.

Additional Information

People arrested for crimes may be innocent. I think their lives could be ruined if information is published about them. Their family and children could also be put in danger.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
