Nice quote though it's not giving up essential liberty, it's a minor change to what already happens, a murder suspect is held on remand, a shoplifter is not, both are innocent until proven guilty, and generally we don't protest outside the jail the murder suspect is held in because generally we trust the police and generally our trust is well placed.
