The National Association of Defense Lawyers proposed an automatic naming ban for suspects in criminal cases. Today, only a judge can impose a name ban (earliest 24 hours after arrest). Two government parties (Venstre and Moderaterne) and several opposition parties (SF, Enhedslisten, Alternativet and Konservative) are open to changing the rules.
- A naming ban means that the media cannot use the name of a suspect in their reporting.
