> When you are charged with a crime, even if you can prove your innocence, generally your day to day life suffers great harm that can be considered a punishment for daring to do what ever got you charged with the crime in the first place. Or for daring to do nothing at all, in the case of mistaken identity or a straight frame job. I mention this out only to say your points here are correct, but the situation is actually much worse than you portray.
