Petition Stop people being named who are arrested in the media without proof of the crime

More details

Everyday we are hearing about some celebrity or someone in our area being accused of a crime but people do not realise the damage being done to those who have been named who have gone through courts and found innocent or where proof can not be found. People they suspect of committing a crime named. What happend to innocent until proven guilty? I am asking for signatures to stop the media from naming people who are innocent whose lives are ruined forever. Make it illegal for the media to reveal a name!
