You are - willingly or unwillingly - mixing two very different legal statuses there.

One is being the accuser, to whom evidence is asked about the validity of the accusation (this law proposal). The other is to automatically accuse someone (in your proposal) and demand evidence to deem them innocent.

If someone came to the police and said, "so and so murdered someone", and there's no body to be found, would the police not demand as much evidence as is available? Would they charge someone with murder just based on an accusation?
