I don't think Bingo's interested in being a litmus case so I removed the posts, but always nice to know whereabouts along the line the law gets, um, interesting.

Remember that guy who was in that car accident and his girlfriend died? At the time of the accident, local media spoke openly about the tragedy. Papers printed his name and other organizations he was involved in posted videos and other information about him on their website. Police investigated and eventually charged him as he was allegedly impaired at the time of the accident. Because he was under 18, suddenly the YCJA provisions kick in and it is illegal to identify the driver. Big PITA for newspapers who already ran stories that are available online which published his name. So. Lame.
