You're welcome.
How is that circular reasoning? My issue with publishing names of people accused of crimes is that the media drags their name through the mud, and often judges them to be guilty before they are tried. In some cases, having a name / photo of the accused publish can help convince their victims to come forward (lots of rape cases happen this way). Or perhaps you got scammed by someone, reported it to the police, but they were unable to find the person, and then later you see them being tried in a separate case. You can then go to the police and say "that's the person who scammed me", which could bring further charges.
Here's a couple of other "controversial" views I thought of:
1) Affirmative action policies are (ironically) racist themselves and should be banned.
2) Gun manufacturers should not be sued when their gun is involved in a murder.
Neither of those are controversial, oh wait, Sarcasm! damit! fooled again.
