RE: In a court of law. If you were presumed innocent, they would never pull you over

So you’re saying that you are ALWAYS presumed guilty by the simple fact of them pulling you over? If so, In the case of going through a STOP sign without stopping, how does the officer prove that you did without any evidence other than his word? And if his word is always good enough, then the adage about being presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty is simply a cliche.

It’s like EJ CARROLL accusing Trump of raping her without any proof other than because she said so and the court believing her.

Why would they pull you over if you were presumed innocent? If they clock you doing 70 in a 55 zone, why would they pull you over if they thought you were innocent of speeding?

“Presumed innocent until proven guilty” are solely in the instructions to the jury. BTDT
