But if someone arrests and tries me for a crime, I want the process to be carried out in full public scrutiny, thanks.
So you would not under any circumstances apply for name supression?

Le premier ministre a dit qu'il s'agissait d'un incident isolé

Guess one base is covered in that you won't be seeing many pitch invasions in New Zealand anymore.

but either way this isn't what we need a few years out from the World Cup. If you saw these brain-dead idiots (and there were a lot of people out on Saturday) please go to the police.<quote>
In light of the impending, I was surprised
<quote>Prime Minister John Key has expressed concern and emphasised it was an isolated incident.

There would seem to be far more credibility in saying that there's a problem that needs to be addressed. As an overseas prospective ticket buyer who can read English, I'm not exactly brimming with confidence in teh PM assessment of things, and if things will be any better by 2011.

I'm liking the title of this thread, gets me every time.

Say with regards to this guy

Photo plastered over the internet, reputation already half toasted, and the jury hasn't even been selected. I feel that's just wrong.

...meaning, not half as bad an aspersion to cast.

Yeah Tom, I'd say Comeskey isn't even in the same ballpark in this case.

Is that an issue with over-transparency or with reporting methods?
I can't really call reporting methods into question, there being no rung too low to stoop to in that field as I see it, and it's private enrterprise. However I like the idea that people can go to court and observe, or could be allowed to watch via the wire if a genuine interest is there, but I found in the Bain Case that there was a lot of editorialization, and more so that when citizens are being served this stuff with their cornflakes that it can be divisive, and in that particular case I felt the high profile and public questioning of the verdict in no way encourages my faith in the system.
