That statement shows you have absolutely zero understandng of your legal rights or why they are important. It is a major problem in our country that so few people understand what rights they have and why those rights matter.
The entire point of our system of justice is that nobody ever needs to fear being ACCUSED of anything... Because you have to be convicted BEFORE anything can be done to you as a punishment. You are innocently waiving your right to the most important legal protection you have and instead relying on 'not being accused.' When all it takes are accusations, you get the Salem witch trials,McCarthyism, internment camps and people using our criminal justice system to their own gain by accusing innocent people they disagree with...
