The challenge is that reverse-onus situations are not going to be what's most effective. Nobody here is arguing against public safety. We absolutely want to protect those who are most at risk of the most serious offences. What we need to then do is focus on those cases and reduce the number of minor or other types of cases that don't present the same kind of seriousness or risks, so we can focus our attention and resources on that which is most serious.
Something else we might want to do is look at how we can improve case processing to get people through the system, so that we convict people and then sentence them appropriately rather than trying to do everything on the front end. Then it's a matter of saying we want to protect people, but let's do this and think about this in a way that doesn't focus on specific incidents but steps back and realizes that we have thousands and thousands of people in pretrial custody. Not everybody needs to be there. Let's focus on who's most serious and figure out how to intervene and let the others out.
