Bear in mind that we imprison people "before they're found guilty by a court of law", . No we bind them over for trail, and unless they are a immediate risk to commit more crimes or flee they are given bail.

Call it what you will, they are imprisoned before a trial verdict. Their freedom is taken away without a trial. They are locked up on mere accusations.
Sam Cree was hyperventilating because we seize assets before a person is found guilty. All I was saying is that we do worse than that by locking up suspects and people seem to understand -- even make excuses for it, like you do.
