How does the law deal with people who lie about all sorts of crimes now?

No system is going to be perfect, but creating a "secret police like force" of, in many cases, undertrained bureaucrats operating outside the bounds of due process procedures isn't the answer.

I would be very curious to hear a response to the following question from the many lawyers on this thread.

Do you believe the premise that innocent until proven guilty is important and necessary for a sound just legal system? And if so why?
