I think that we generalise too much with this stuff and overcomplicate.
Police need to gather the evidence cleanly and by the book.
Lawyers need to have confidentiality with their clients, and be for the most part, ambivalent to whether or not the person is guilty but ensure that the protocols followed are above board.
Thats the only way to ensure that innocent people are not put away to suit the legal system. Its also to ensure that guilty people are truly guilty and not just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
They also need to be sure that their defenders will not become the reason they get put away because they divulged information that incriminates them when seeking legal advice. That being said, if Lawyers know that their clients are guilty, they are supposed to drop those cases else they become accomplices.
