> That’s why Japan and China have criminal prosecution conviction rates of so near 100%. Because they coerce a confession >90% of the time.
They also just convict some minor criminal of the crime if they can’t find the real criminal.
Their systems do have a major benefit: Close to zero crime. People commit crimes on the basis of how likely they’ll be caught and if the police always get their man people commit very few crimes. Even guilty people who have someone else pay for their crimes think that they got lucky and don’t tend to commit more crimes.
Many communities in the US have close to zero crime, and do so without violating unalienable rights.
I prefer the system outlined in the Constitution.
