The legal system is not a computer program.
- Zenst 14y agoNobody said it was and in that things are not always black and white and as clearcut as they could be. the case of random data - is it random data or is it encrypted being the case in point. This is why we have resonable doubt in the UK and innocent until proven guilty. In France they have guilty until proven innocent and such a law as this over there would be alot more painful to defend in that respect. Personaly I like the Scottish system of Innocent until proven Guilty but with the added verdict of not-proven, this covers things were it is not entirely clear that your innocent and there are doubts, though not enough to convict a guilty verdict. That too me is a fairer system on balance.
