Milestones

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.

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.
