>> It's not just about proving guilt, it's also about proving innocence ...
I must have missed where she said that. And the last I heard, it was guilt that needed to be proved, not innocence.
I may as well add that
- innocence would almost certainly be impossible to prove if one was accused of guilty association or spouting radicalising bilge, and that
- the police do not in any case waste their time looking for evidence of innocence. If they find accusations credible, they put their resources into looking for evidence of guilt.
Meanwhile the innocent could presumably be held without trial, spied on, have their assets frozen, be subjected to curfew, or whatever TM decides is necessary.
