Police-Induced Confessions, 2.0: Risk Factors and Recommendations

I wouldn't want evidence to automatically become "inadmissible" because of something the police have done: they could accidentally-on-purpose do something that makes the evidence that would have proved me innocent "inadmissible". Also, organised criminals could bribe the police to make the evidence that would have proved them guilty "inadmissible".

If there's one right I'd like to see added it's this: the right to a trial without a jury. I'll admit it may have something to do with my social class and education, and where I live, but I trust a judge to make the right decision more than I trust a jury.

Then you bring the evidence exonerating you. The prosecution is limited, not you.

Already have the problem with bribery, this literally does not impact that.

Inadmissibility of government evidence due to government violations of the accused’s constitutional rights in its collection never works against the accused.
