   I have an idea: what if we got rid of the presumption of innocence, but only for politicians and government officials?

     @coldacid use the same standard as the military, where you are expected to maintain high standards of conduct since you are in government service. Threshold of guilt is far lower.

     Qualified immunity actually makes sense.... for the citizenry. A question of law can divide scotus 5-4, yet in the end the layman is punished simply for not having the clairvoyance to preordain an interpretation half of the top layers in the country disagree with.

     Being "bound to know the laws" only makes sense for pigs who have swore an oath to uphold, and are paid to enforce them.

     They've turned the system on its head. "Two legs good, four legs bad." And all that jazz.
