Or they can phone the BBC to watch jno.

But it's not really just about pictures though is it? Releasing the name is sufficient to drive some over the edge. It is wrong: Innocent until proven guilty, if you name someone there will always be a fair few who will say you did it even if found not guilty. We see it on here regularly from some.

That is normal procedure if the police can't identify a suspect by other means.
