>What would you change?
I would like the presumption of innocence before due process and i would like the due process to involve a British jury. I would like an absolute time limit on detention of innocent people. And if these things made policing or managing immigration more difficult then i can live with that.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoPresumption of innocence in the face of absolute proof? If you're a foreign national in the UK without proper documentation you are guilty of a crime; we could change that of course, but you don't appear to want that? I'm not sure restricted immigration can work without that assumption of guilt; the alternative seems like open borders with no controls? If they're innocent then they'll be able to prove it easily ... if they have a valid reason for immigration than despite their crime they'll be released in good time. It seems a small price to pay for freedom if you're fleeing certain harm?
- cortic 8y ago> innocence in the face of absolute proof? this is just childish, you can only establish the existence of 'absolute proof' in a court of law. If you really want some jobsworth to sit in their office and dispense justice, then you don't want justice.
