"Bad guys" still have fifth amendment protection. You prosecute, satisfy the burden of proof and hope a jury convicts. That's what you do.
Outside of that, if you really want this changed, petition your representative to repeal the fifth amendment, I suppose?

- iamdave 10y agoThis is in response to a news story that happened in the United States, I thought we were remaining in that context. And if I'm to think outside of an American-centric viewpoint, what governing body do you point to that would protect someone's rights from being forced to provide evidence against themselves when being charged with a crime? or Is this something that ought not be considered either?
