Comments are not allowed on articles that involve active police proceedings.

To abide by contempt laws, the Bucks Free Press removes the comment function on articles that involve active police proceedings.

These include articles that reference a person’s arrest, charge and imminent/ ongoing trial.

When the judicial process has been completed, comments will be allowed on stories except when it is connected to another case that is active.

We use our discretion to remove the comment function when a completed case involves someone who has been granted anonymity.
