DESCRIPTION:In England\, there are a number of overlapping laws that constr
 ain what the police - and\, as a consequence\, the media - might be able t
 o say about a live investigation.\n\nIf someone is arrested\, the law of C
 ontempt of Court is very clear that they have a right to a fair trial - as
 suming they are going to be charged - and that right should not be damaged
  by what’s known as prejudicial reporting.\n\nDetails of a police invest
 igation\, such as precisely what detectives are looking for\, why they are
  looking for it\, what they have gathered so far and their assessment of t
 hat evidence\, is all material that could sway the public’s mind.\n\nTha
 t is why the British media often says very little about a live case compar
 ed with other countries where there is more of a free for all.\n\nThe seco
 nd is privacy. This is a very hot topic in British media and criminal just
 ice law - but the basic rule is that the police will not\, other than in v
 ery exceptional circumstances\, name someone who is under investigation\n\
 nWhy? Because investigation is not proof of a crime. People who are suspec
 ted of wrongdoing are entitled to get their life back if and when police c
 onclude they were not involved in any wrongdoing.
