I don't like the idea that someone should be prosecuted for something they didn't do.

BoldlyDubious seems to assume that the identification in the file can always be trusted, to the extent that
it alone is sufficient evidence to provide proof for prosecution. That idea makes me very uncomfortable indeed.
I suspect BoldlyDubious and I will never reach agreement on this.
