"Can you imagine being denied your Constitutional Rights because you were charged with a crime"

We throw citizens in jail who are charged with a crime before their case even goes to trial. Where's the outrage?

Temporarily confiscating one's property seems to pale in comparison.

But we do not deny them their voting rights or muzzle them or not allow them to write letters to the editor or not give them culturally appropriate meals, etc, etc, etc....

But we don't keep them in jail for years after the charges are dropped.
