Non-Americans of Lemmy, what does your country do to protect the rights of criminal defendants? - eviltoast

American law outlines a series of protections for those accused of crimes but not yet convicted. (Like the 4th-6th amendments)

Does your country have any unique/novel protections of the rights of potentially innocent people accused but yet to be convicted?

If not are there any protections you think should be in place?

    The whole thing was eye rollingly stupid, but when in America…

    Hehe :)

    Here: nearly unthinkable. Nobody needs to inform the police in explicit words about their rights, because rights have to be respected whether you tell some magic spell or not, and the police knows people’s rights, because it is their job, so nobody needs to explain them. These police would get their asses full of trouble for such a prank.
