Being locked up entails being suspected of a crime in the first place, and being arrested, and beng tried, and being convicted. So far me and mine have avoided all such entanglements as far back as anyone can recall. It's actually fairly easy to do, although fewer and fewer bother with it since the courthouses installed revolving doors. I'm far more concerned about the damnable guilty roaming free, of which there are thousands upon thousands, than I am about my miniscule chance of being accidentally caught in the gears of the "system".
So, you don’t believe cops and courts lie? I’ve seen cops and judges and prosecuting attorneys who won’t admit they were wrong when the real killer confesses.
If you think this can never happen to you or your family, man, all I can say is people like you are the reason it happens.

How do you spell “naïveté” free republic style? See above. Why not google “John Kaza” to see an example of how out of the blue, people can be arrested, held without reasonable bail, and tortured with permanent injuries without a smidgeon of credible evidence.
You’re not unintelligent, sir, just naive. Sure there is recourse to courts in some cases, but they can only give money. Around here we believe in the Constitution and the principles set forth therein, and one saying coming from those principles is “Better 10 guilty go free than one innocent be imprisoned wrongly.”
Perhaps you are a fan of a leader of the 30’s who promised to eliminate crime. He did by rounding up everyone who had ever been even charged with crime. You could leave your doors open even if you lived in a big city like Los Angeles, er, no make that Berlin....oh wait, nevermind.
