If you are going to defame someone, ought truth be a basic requirement? How can you prove a negative; how can cops prove they aren’t corrupt? Much easier to prove something happen rather than proving something didn’t happen, unless there is a specific incident in question.

Being able to prove the truth of what you say ought not be a legal requirement. If you want somebody prosecuted for their speech, you should be forced to prove they were knowingly lying.
