Government wants to introduce online sentencing information for local areas. Peter Murray, vice-president of the National Union of Journalists, tells Sky News: "The point about journalism, as opposed to information provided by arms of the state, is that it's filtered through people who have all the ethical training, political background and experience. That filtering process is not there on a police or local authority website, so people committing a minor offence may find themselves victimised, or subject to vigilantism because people would have no means of determining the seriousness of the offence committed."
