Given the intensity of media now, should accused members of your population be filmed before being found guilty?
There are so many cases, Weinstein, Spacey and a lot in my local area where people lose everything before going to trial.
I am not saying Weinstein and Spacey are innocent, but for those that are, the media coverage is worse than the possible punishment
Let's say a woman get's accused of bestiality. The media coverage alone will stay on Google forever.

This Google punishment is 10,000 times worse than the actual punishment.
And it is difficult to remove.

We had a case today in Perth where the son of a family was jailed for 11 months for a brutal crime.
But the media are hassling the family after judgement looking for a story.

The guilty are held in custody and the innocent walk out the front door.
Either way, the presence of cameras is going to provoke people who are innocent.
I just think Google and the media are destroying lives.
The cameraman in that story is laughing the whole time. He knows the Google chain of events is going to hurt this family. He is making it.
To protect the innocent, court room and outside media should be minimized.
The law needs to catch up with technology.
If every convict in Australia from 1790's had a Google profile, then hundreds of thousands of people would be unecessarily shamed.
