堂堂執法部門，長時期就網上言論發聲明澄清，日積月累，只會塑造出「無辜者有責任自辯」的文化，逐步扭轉社會固有「無罪推定」的觀念。更甚者，藉詞澄清，實質撒謊，只會令社會習慣「自辯者總在撒謊」。久而久之，普通法觀念與社會文化脫節，離推行大陸法的子不遠已。
C'mon, why bother clarifying when you are the law enforcing department? When you keep clarifying for yourself for any accusations online, you are honestly trying to shape a culture in which the accused is expected to have the responsibility to prove himself innocent. Worse still, your so called "clarifications" are, more often than not, blatant lies in broad daylight. The public would only get used to not trusting anyone who defends for himself.
Given long enough time, the society would only go further and further away from the common law. With a culture shaped, it would be a breeze to adopt the civil law.
