Thread:Comments:Scottish Justice Secretary 'acutely aware of unusual publicity' in Kular case/UK & Commonwealth tradition v. US laws/reply

The reporter for this article is in Scotland, which is relevant both to their legal liability and to their ability to know to write these articles. For other nuances of the legal situation I'd defer to the reporter (who, as they put it in the reporter's notes for the earlier article, is related to a Scots lawyer and has access to hot and cold running legal advice). But I'd also note, if the point of the law here is to avoid messing up the course of justice, and there is no public good to be served by publishing the arrestee's name and picture, why would we go out of our way to do so?
