American law outlines a series of protections for those accused of crimes but not yet convicted. (Like the 4th-6th amendments)

Does your country have any unique/novel protections of the rights of potentially innocent people accused but yet to be convicted?

If not are there any protections you think should be in place?

To me the whole "I'm sorry" being a legal admission of guilt thing is bullshit. Like is there any situation where that has actually been beneficial to someone not trying to commit insurance fraud?
