[As Introduced]

BILL
to
This bill would make it illegal to publish the names and details of arrested people before they are formally charged with a crime. Currently, media can name arrested people immediately, but this bill would keep their identities anonymous during the early stages of the criminal justice process.
Presented by Lord Paddick.
