    I thought it was “innocent until PROVEN guilty”. Cop has to prove the setting was off, or that the noise was real. Putting the onus on the defendant means guilty until proven innocent.

      Your reasonable doubt is that whoever is testifying it was on is committing perjury against a stranger for laughs vs the guy who actually bought a car with a noisemaker. I frankly don’t care if the depondent is a cop or some 7/11 cashier, that sort of he said she said with circumstantial evidence of possession of an actual noisemaker is the proof.
