If they were publishing CONVISTIONS then I have no problem with it at all... I believe this is current practice in any case.
Publishing the names of people who have not yet been convicted but only arrested and charged with a certain offence is utterly outrageous, and if this is happening here all responsible people should be sacked and barred from ever holding public office.
Im not even joking. This is a horrific abuse of office, if I am reading the story correctly.
Most times I think that we live in a society where everyone is too free to sue, but (again if I read this correctly) I hope that the authority is sued into financial ruin by anyone who is publicised as arrested for any crime which they are later found not guilty for.
This is an attempt to create, perhaps in a small way, a police state - ignoring the courts and passing a guilty sentence at the point of arrest. It is a terrible thing, a disgrace... the responsible should be thrown out of office and if possible deported.
