      A suspect was arrested and hasn’t been charged yet. Why do you want to know who the suspect is when they aren’t entirely convinced who did it?

        Why not? Shouldn’t we get to know the names of people arrested by the police? Should they be allowed to withhold that information from the public? Seems kind of police-state-y.

          Got a citation? If the accused is charged with a crime, yes. The article does not state that that is the case

            “We’ve arrested somebody, but haven’t charged them with anything, and you’re not allowed to know who it is.”

            It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see how that could be abused.
