Should there be limits to the suspect information released by police?
Posted
A new law is leading law enforcement agencies to scrutinize the processes by which they share information about suspects to the public. The measure, which goes into effect Oct. 21, “would prohibit the release or publication of an adult suspect’s name or photograph unless the individual is charged with or suspected of a felony and the release is necessary to protect the public’s safety.” Do you agree or disagree with this updated policy?
Innocent until proven guilty. — Benjamin Black
Name, photo and charges should be public. — Jonathan Contant
Democrats are once again protecting criminals over innocent citizens. They do not care about your safety. If they did, they’d support deportations. — Bob Hice
Names, photos and charges should always be released to the public, including for anyone arrested for felonies under age 18. If they are big enough to commit felonies, arrested and charged, then the public has a right to know who these under-18 violent offenders are! — Cindy M. Starkey
Once a criminal charge is filed in a Delaware court, the case files, dockets and public judicial proceedings become public record. They are stopping the media from informing others. Democrat-run Delaware is about protecting criminals, not citizens. This will also cover politicians if they are charged with crimes. It will keep the public from knowing. — Jeff Grzeszczak
