TO: all tards that think “innocent till proven gulity” on paper means the same thing in practice
RE: the burden of proof of our legal system
What’s written on paper is not always how things go in real life.
Best example: the Street Racing/Stunting legislation. If charged with a racing or stunting offense, you are punished at the road side before even standing trial.
Show me “innocent before proven guilty” in that case.
Also, good luck with your “no i wasn’t” defense.
If you believe that an officer’s oral testimony does not count as sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were on your phone while driving, you are living in a fantasy world.
If that were the case, NO charges would EVER stick when being disputed in court.
The officer’s notes and his oral testimony are all the “facts” the Crown needs to prove their case.
Of course there are defenses, and with lawyers, of course people get off all the time. But that’s because of plea bargaining and actual defenses submitted by lawyers.
Just saying “he can’t prove it. i didn’t do it” is not a defense anywhere and will get laughed at.
Go sit in a courtroom for a day.
THANK YOU… people smarten up… if it comes down to your word vs the cop… like haymakr says, well then your toast… its worse with stunting… if he thinks your stunting you lose your car and license for 7 days and pay impound and towing fees WHETHER YOU WERE OR NOT… doesn’t matter, this is no different.
