Do you think that press and media coverage of recent events help or hinder investigations?
The umbrella cover of the 'Public's right to know' is being abused in my opinion.
Some of these hooligans run round like headless chickens in order to get headlines and if the headlines or story lines are not forthcoming they make them up.
It comes across that the media have more resources that the police to call on, would it not be a better idea for the police to be in a position to commandeer those resources for use in the investigation?
I am all in favour of the freedom of the press but to what extent, not sure.
