Yeah we get the same here, gradually you see the column get bigger and bigger aswell.

I think it's a bit OTT that they mentioned the Red sup aswell tho

Unfortunately if an offence case goes to court, it will appear in the local paper under courts & hearings (towards the back). It's normally no more than a 1"x1" article (in about 6pt font) that states the particulars of the hearings - ie your name, address, the offence and the outcome.

There is nothing you can do about it as this information is in the public domain and has to be detailed. It will not be a full article about your particular charge and I very much doubt it's news worthy. *If* it is then you have every right to complain. You'll be able to obtain back issues from the paper's office. Find out the date this featured and order a copy.

Again, I wouldn't do anything until you have read the report yourself. I have seen them include the details of cars involved in speeding offences before so this isn't unique to you. Was the information from a reliable source? I strongly advise against complaining to anyone until you've seen it with your own eyes. These details might help for you to get a back-issue...
