innocent until accused That concept has been going on for a while. Women who were sexually harassed or assaulted were ignored for so long, we over corrected and we became cautious of just being accused.

We’re more interested in making sure we catch everyone that is guilty and some innocent people are acceptable casualties. In fact, let’s widen the net slightly for more by-catch. Then we know for sure we got everything.
