I agree, although I think that middle ground is elusive :-) Two things that strike me as easy to do and unequivocally good from a civics/civil liberties perspective: forbidding "mugshot" journalism (cf. Florida) and forbidding "perp walks" by local PDs. Both disproportionately punish the poor/underprivileged and directly promote the kind of reputational sullying that local PDs revel in.
