In the court system it seems you are guilty until proven inocent. I say this from expericence with my child. You can go say anything to the courts and charges can be taken, you are locked up until you prove you are innocent of those charges.

You couldn't be more right, If you are accused of something you could be thrown in a holding cell, harrased by police, prosecuters, and judges and untill you are proven innocent you aren't. Even if you are innocent and get through this there is emotional scaring after the noncence. I have no idea where they got the innocent until proven guilty phrase from.

True but not true...By law you should be Innocent till proven guilty.
I believe the only day that you are Innocent is the day you have your trial.
Unfair or what...Ahhh...justice ..there is no justice!!
Even times you are Innocent and then go to trial and for whatever reason you are found guilty!!! When you are Innocent!!!

Unless the media gets involved, yes. In fact the real trouble with our modern "Justice System" is that in many cases only the criminal has any real rights. And yes it is normal to keep a suspected criminal off the streets, even 200 years ago.

Yes that is true, you go through the same loses as though you did commit the crime, and you will find yourself prooving innocence not them prooving guilt.

In certain situations, this seems to be happening more and more. I don't know what America is coming to.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL YOU PROVE YOURSELF INNOCENT. THE OTHER WAY AROUND IS A MYTH.
