> make the arrest based on the filter, then run the trial in the same old jury-of-your-peers.

LOL, jury of peers. You mean the jury that is left after the prosecutors and defenders screen out the most competent jurors. The same jurors that typically believe you are guilty because you've been arrested. Have you been in the typical criminal courtroom lately? Any public defender will tell you that going to trial in cuffs and jailhouse orange will almost certainly get you a conviction.

There are lots of things that need to be fixed in the justice system. Lets not give them more tools to make it worse.
