THE NO-NAME LAW PROTECTS A PERSON WHO BECOMES A SUSPECT OF A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FROM PREMATURE DISCLOSURE OF THE SUSPECT'S IDENTITY TO THE MEDIA.
IN THE COURSE OF A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, THE POLICE MAY INVESTIGATE DOZENS OF "CRIMINAL SUSPECTS/PERSONS OF INTEREST" WHO ARE ACTUALLY INNOCENT OF THE CRIME. THIS LAW PROTECTS THOSE PERSONS FROM THE POTENTIALLY HARMFUL RELEASE OF THEIR IDENTITIES BEFORE THEY ARE ACTUALLY ARRESTED OR CHARGED WITH A CRIME, IF EVER.
MERE ACCUSATIONS, NO MATTER HOW SENSATIONAL, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUIN INNOCENT PEOPLE'S REPUTATIONS AND LIVES.
The stories coming in from people affected by reckless reporting are heartbreaking. We are compiling these experiences to present to the committee.

The momentum behind this is undeniable. It is clear that people are tired of seeing reputations destroyed before a fair process even begins.

SERIOUSLY!! My neighbor went through exactly this and it literally destroyed his whole career. He was totally innocent but no one cares once your name is out there. STOP THE MADNESS!

The news ruins lives before the poor guy even has a chance to say a word. Names should stay private until there is an actual charge. Good idea.
