Testimony is evidence ...

Unsubstanciated evidence is not evidence.

Using that ‘burden of proof’ gives the Police power to make up any story they want. Would you want to go to jail, have a sex crime added to your permanent history based upon nothing more than the word of a policeman? Look at the cop wrong, drive the wrong make of car, root for the wrong team - and you too could be charged with prostitution, assault, indecent exposure or any host of crimes.
Hell, why even bother with a court system? We’ll just have the cops assign whatever crime they want, whenever they want, against whomever they want.
I’m a resident of the Township and I’d rather our police do other things than luring 40-something prostitutes from Philly for busts. Puh-leeeez.
