Subject: UK Privacy - police blogger exposed by the Times

From the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8103731.stm

A serving detective whose anonymous blog carried criticisms of  
government ministers and police bureaucracy has been disciplined by  
his force.

The action, by Lancashire Constabulary, follows the exposure of the  
blogger "Night Jack" by the Times newspaper.

He was unmasked after the High Court rejected his plea that his  
anonymity be preserved "in the public interest".


Again the judge is The Hon. Mr Justice Eady (referred to in the UK  
libel thread)

Having noticed his name last week I saw that the judge has ruled on  
the other side of the privacy fence in the past
