The trouble with Name Suppression

The following is the coded version of the name of someone accused of kiddy fiddling:

00110100 00111001 00110010 00110000 00110110 00110001 00110110 00110011 00110110 00110011 00110111 00110101 00110111 00110011 00110110 00110101 00110010 00110000 00110110 01000100 00110111 00111001 00110010 00110000 00110110 00111000 00110110 01000110 00110111 00110101 00110111 00110011 00110110 00110101 00110010 00110000 00110110 01000100 00110110 00110001 00110111 00110100 00110110 00110101 00110010 01000011 00110010 00110000 00110100 00110010 00110110 01000110 00110110 00110010 00110110 00110010 00110111 00111001 00110000 00110000

...or is it.

That is one of the problems with name suppression. If that is a name subject to a suppression order I could be in deep trouble if caught. On the other hand how do you or I for that matter, know?

I have seen what may be the code posted by Whaleoil. Since I didn't see it at the source, on Whaleoil's blog, I don't know for sure.

All I know was it was a name and bit of googling pulled up several entries for a former Member of Parliament beyond that I have no idea.

Whether you agree that name suppression is over used or not that sort of rumour mongering is potentially damaging to the person named. If you still don't get what I mean decode that sentence with name above.

Just copy and paste here then copy, go to the hex page and paste here.

Remember this:
Name Suppression prevents trial by media and gossip monger and protects the victim and family of the accussed in one case.
Not suppressing names allows "naming and shaming" and prevents more victims and allows other existing victims to come forward.

Take you pick.
