The police will release images once they have them and if they consider they need to.
I assume you think your "privacy" comment was clever. You're very wrong.
Unlikely unless they need to issue an appeal to locate/ID the suspect. The right to privacy applies to criminals too...
So you'd be okay being named if you were
SUSPECTED of something awful (like murder)?
Because everyone would see you as a murderer even if the charges were dropped / found to be untrue.
From what I've read it seems that witnesses were saying that they were fighting and arguing over something before the stabbing. So they must have either known each other...
Not necessarily.
I was on the Underground over Christmas when some guy had another guy by the scruffs. Others broke the fight up but I heard the guy on the platform say
"they'll be waiting for you at the next station mate". I thought about calling him out to be a liar and an idiot. There was nobody at the next stop... but it made me wonder why the person said it to begin with... as in, what in his mind decided that would be a good thing to say, when it clearly wasn't going to be true.
Not sure the TOC should be responsible for paying Delay Repay for this either.
Nobody should pay.
I knw it's a slippery slope maybe for ways TOCs could get out of paying but it's not fair on them - despite their flaws.
My part of the world. I know a lot of friends in the area. A lot of us are registered shotgun owners, I’m guessing a lot are out of their locked cases tonight!
For what gain?
A deterrent?
A deterrent is only a deterrent if the user is willing to use it.
I'm sure the shotgun user would think twice about shooting someone and becoming a murderer themselves. A criminal who regularly stabs people isn't going to think twice about ending your life.
