Many other countries will lock you up for a few months before you talk to anyone, here they ask you questions prior to speaking to a lawyer (or something to that effect).
So because of my beliefs it means I didn't think this through? I support our current system, not something that does not exist, so I doubt it is me that needs to think it through. I like the status quo but would like even more options for the police.
I wouldn't want ten murderers walking around free to keep one innocent person out of jail. To do that, I think the whole justice system would have to fold, since no one would be convicted of anything anymore. Yes, there are innocent people who have been jailed and even executed for another person's crime. I certainly do not think that is good, it is a reality of our system. We do our best to prevent it, but it can still happen.
What is with the personal attacks???

So you're of the opinion that the standard should be guilty until proven innocent? I'm sure that will remain your opinion if you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and are falsely accused.
This standard allows the police to abuse their power to illicit incriminating responses. Having a lawyer present doesn't prevent questioning, it prevents misleading and coercive questioning. Apparently in Canada the prevention of that isn't an issue. Pathetic.
