You can certainly cite individual examples. I'm sure there are a number of them. That doesn't negate albaby's point of presumption of innocence.

No one is questioning that. He's shifting the debate from the on-the-ground reality of how the system actually works and delivers results to a principle that literally no one has a problem with. Classic Motte and Bailey debate tactics.

In all the cases I cited, the system could have remanded these people to custody to await trail because of a lengthy track record of arrests, some violent. That has nothing to do with the principle of innocent until proven guilty.
