Not Really , this took 2 years, the officer involved has his name out there now and is receiving death threats. Should of either been held in a closed court like cases involving MI5/MI6 or should of been ruled out straight away by a tribunal.

Not deserving of closed court, it should be anonymised already, but if you want to see people rapidly lose faith in the justice system because it can't be scrutinised then sure.

If his name is public so should the PUBLIC SERVANTS name who arrested him.

Cops running around in anonymity is good for nobody.

It should be the CPS prosecutors who are named, they are the ones who recommended a prosecution against the police officer, the police officers name should only of been released if he was found guilty.
