A Liberty Based Political System

If you don't really know if they are a criminal or not it violates their rights. Now you can make a practical argument that it is okay to violate a suspects rights based on situational context. This is theory and it is logical. But it isn't always practical.

That may be difficult in some instances and very simple in others.

But the fundamental question is, is a suspect a criminal or not? Is it innocent until proven guilty or not? In order to violate the rights of a non-criminal, innocent person someone else will have to bring a better argument to justify the action. You could bring evidence and testimony before trial to put the suspect in a gray area. Still, the police saying "we arrested the guy" isn't justification to infringe on rights.
