...beyond what's already in place.

"Building a case is like building a house. Each piece of evidence is just another building block. He wants to make a brick bunker of a building. He wants to use serious, solid-looking bricks...He's going to show you the bricks. He'll show you they got straight sides. He'll show you how they got the right shape. He'll show them to you in a very special way, so that they appear to have everything a brick should have. But there's one thing he's not gonna show you...When you look at the bricks from the right angle, they're as thin as this playing card. His whole case is an illusion, a magic trick." - Vincent Laguardia Gambini.

Treating people as if they're criminals is only okay if they actually are criminals.
