After reporting "The driver's husband, who asked not to be named" &c, they publish a photograph of the wreck on page 5 of the Herald on Sunday. The Hyundai's numberplate has not been blanked out, and is clearly readable. :groan: At least TVNZ did the decent thing by not showing the numberplate. Can I ask why it's so important to blank out number plates, peoples faces etc. It seems to bee a trend imported from overseas over the past few years. It after all happens in a public place ..	paulw (1826)

I dont know why the press blur them but they dont have to. People have been recording the number plates of guys picking up dirty girls at Hunters Corner and publishing them police said thats fine.	prefect (6291)
