I was thinking about this just this morning (I have a long commute, 
heh heh). Why do innocent wizards get sent to prison? Why aren't 
those magical methods of determining innocence used?

It must be seen as unethical, just as we muggles wouldn't be 
sticking every alleged criminal with sodium whatever-it-is. We don't 
use evidence against a person if it's obtained illegally, either, 
even if it means the person will get away with a crime.

Anyone have a discourse about this to share?
