The problem often is, that the person doing the QUESTIONING, are themselves acting with motives that are not pure or are warped. I hear what you are saying, though.

In this country, if someone accuses you of something, and if that something, if true, means you broke a law, or in the case of civil cases a situation is created where the authorities would need to act for someone's protection, than the judge must hear the case. (I know my wording is clumbsy, but the point is there).

So plenty of innocent people get caught up in horrendous personal situations that alter their lives for years, or forever, because of sociopaths with a mission.

The fact is that some guilty people will always 'get away with it' ansd some will get caught. No reason to catch the innocent people.

Yes, but Jefferson lived in the days of the duel. It was much easier to get satisfaction, or plead self defense if some evil doer released by the courts decided to attack you or your property. Today the state is considered to have failed if it can't perfectly protect all it's good citizens, in spite of the impossibility of the task.

You're in good company.  Thomas Jefferson said exactly the same thing.

Also, some people apparently would rather that 100 guilty people go free than one innocent person be QUESTIONED -- keep that up and all the guilty will go free.
