    Our country was FOUNDED by people who were considered criminals (by the English crown). A huge portion of our laws reflect their fear of the vast unfairness to those accused, who had property, liberty, and even life, taken with only so much as a point from a rich or powerful finger; so yes, you're correct that our system is centered on protections for the accused.


    Have you ever read what happened to the 56 signers of the Declaration?

    BOR, I didn't know this but found a website that breifly explained some of the history and was very interesting reading.

    http://www.americanfamilytraditions....dependence.htm

    I can understand the logic behind the laws that were drafted 200 years ago, furthermore I understand that many innocent people get "caught up in the system" and we must have these rights. It is a system of checks and balances to make sure all people are treated fairly, as they should. I am a engineer by trade and was trained to think in logic. And logic has shown me that many people know how to work the system on both sides of the law, with the "uneducated mass or law-abiding citizens" being caught in the middle. We don't have much of a need to know the system until it is thrust upon us. But when it is, to find such shortcomings for the rights of the victims is an eyeopener.

    This site has been very informative and I thank both of you again for your time to educate me.
