The first amendment - news media companies and others argue the public has 'a right to know,' so even if a government body chooses not to publish them others will. News organizations are quick to sue for access to anything like this that they know will sell a lot of papers.
I consider this a prime example of why the US needs a constitutional privacy amendment. In many European countries police and reporters are forbidden to reveal an arrestee's name until charges have been laid against the person, and some governments (eg the UK, from whom our legal system derives) have been considering granting anonymity during trial for defendants accused of sex crimes, since even a false accusation can wreck someone's life completely, and accusations of rape or child abuse are more likely to result in vigilante action than accusations of murder.
