Strict liability has its place, but so does mens rea. I once bought a motorbike. The man sold it to me from his front porch for going market price. He gave me the keys, he signed over the authentic title. I took it to the DMV to register. The desk worker called the police and had it confiscated; it was stolen property. Under strict liability, I would be a felon. The police officer said to me, 'I have no idea how this happened, I would have been fooled too, he even had the title!?' (paraphrasing) I gather you're arguing that convicting people like me is a worthwhile price to pay for convicting truly guilty people, but I disagree.
