Is the police allowed to publicise cases?

is any police force allowed to publicise cases as it pleases? or is there some sort of permission needed from those involved with the case to allow the issue to go public?Is the police allowed to publicise cases?
The police have fewer restrictions on them than the prosecutor's office does. The prosecutor's office is obligated to restrict information given to the media to protect the defendant's right to a fair trial. The police departments usually go along with that, at least to some extent.





But basic identifying information about the people involved in the case is usually part of the information that is properly released. Child victims are usually not identified by name. Adult victims of sex crimes can be identified by name, but most newspapers don't publish that. Information concerning juvenile offenders is usually not publicized unless the child is to be tried as an adult.





Also, the media often get information that is provided at public court hearings, such as bail hearings, where the State will often lay out its evidence for the purpose of getting a high bail.





But people involved in the case don't have a unilateral right to restrict what information is released or published.Is the police allowed to publicise cases?
Every single case is available to the public under the first ammendment. Juvenile cases can NEVER be publicised due to the laws of juvenile privacy. Also, if the case is a concern of National Security, The CIA, FBI, or HomeLand Security agencies can decide wether a case be publicied or not. However if you are over 18, and you say, robbed a house, anyone can view your case.
It is not within the authority of the police to keep a case public or private. Most prosecutions are public record. Sometimes the victims' names are not disclosed, but the offender's name is public unless it will cause the revelation of the names victims of incest or other sensitive issues.
As long as you are over 18 they can use your name in the newspapers if you commit a crime. If you're under 18 they usually don't release your name in the crimelogs
Only when it is in their best interest.


-no different than any other entity, they only want you to hear the nice things they are doing.
In most cases, you can research online any case you'd like. They are for the most part public knowing.
Most all case's are pubic record....
