    “Where there’s smoke there’s fire” is really interesting when the courts operate on the basis of “innocent until proven guilty”.

      Anyone who says “where there’s smoke there’s fire” never did chemistry class at school. Probably the second worst idiom one can say.

      There’s a difference between the courts and a person. If I had to decide if someone or something is safe, I have a much lower standard than “beyond the shadow of a doubt.”

      If my Uber driver is slurring and smells like cheap brandy, I’m not getting in the car, but that’s not enough to charge them with a DUI, thankfully.
