Petition Anonymity for crime suspects

More details

Innocent people are having there names and photographs "splashed" around various media when they're suspected of commiting a crime. This can have a huge negative impact on the suspects future life. Human nature gives us all a "no smoke without fire" attitude. Government should ban publication of names and photographs of suspect and such details should only be made available if a conviction is secured.
