Good grief. Well put. If there is a genuine presumption of innocence before the law (maybe a suspicion of guilt, but nonetheless a presumption of innocence) then that is surely the Constitutional meaning. Presumption of innocence means that the prosecution in a trial has to prove guilt rather than the accused has to prove innocence. It doesn't mean that the cops presume the people they "like" for a crime are innocent. When you get a search warrant you need good reason to believe that the evidence is there or you couldn't get a warrant. So of course you expect to find it.
