Just because you're famous doesn't change the fact you broke the law!

Your opinion anyone?

1165715 2010-12-30 20:06:00 It stinks.
I think household names or celebrities deserve even more publicity. These are the people we look up to. We should know what they are really like.

1165716 2010-12-30 20:09:00 Doing things has consequences, if it was any of us, we'd be shamed in front of the people we knew, this is just pricks being rich and powerful. They may not quite be above the law, they still seem to manipulate it..

+1 to what tut said.

Let's play a game, "Name and Shame"...

Who's a 46 year old celebrity household name in NZ...
John Campbell seems to fit the bill... Any more ideas?

1165722 2010-12-30 21:05:00 While I disagree with name suppression for just because they are famous, surely it can't be an issue unless they are found guilty?

The person has only been charged but not tried. Our justice system prides itself on judging people innocent until proven guilty. Let the courts judge.

There have been examples, in the past, where people have been charged with a crime, found innocent, but have had to live with the stigma for some time afterward. If they were not identified initially, that may not have happened.

In that case everyone not found guilty should be given name suppression.

Anonymity till the guilty verdict is read out, I mean.
