Joshua Hunt, a self-employed gardener from Claverham, North Somerset, had been linked by police to 25 incidents across the county over the past five years.

Man who publicly restricts his freedom has his freedom publicly restricted.
On a more serious note though: why is sharing his name and face necessary or even allowed? Seems like it’ll result in consequences greater than what the court has deemed appropriate to dole out.
I agree. The UK is usually pretty robust about name suppression. Maybe he wasn’t powerful enough.

Hunt also told the court on the two nights he had been seen on the side of the road he had wanted to kill himself by being hit by a car.
“It never entered my head that what I was doing was frightening people,” he said.
“I apologise to those people - I agree what I was doing was frightening but hand on my heart I never intended to cause them harassment, alarm or distress.”
