The underage can't have their image and names disclosed in any way. The whole ordeal, both in administrative and judicial instances are kept in secret to not disclose their identities. That goes on even after the punishment is over.
Handcuffs shall only be used on a justified basis (risk of escape or violent subject), and it should be and exception. The non compliance by the state is subjected to investigation.
The ones who are in charge for their families and there's young kids to be taken care of, are sent home to care for the kiddos (if it wasn't a violent crime and it wasn't against the kids) - that's a way to not punish the kids for the existence of an ongoing investigation over the ones who take care of them. I'm explaining this one pretty plainly, but that's the spirit.
The accused don't have to say anything and that can't be held against him in any way.
The confession be the accused is not taken as definitive, it's just another detail to the process, and it can be dismissed if the other evidences say otherwise. (It can be deemed as the crime of meddling with the due process, thought, so if an innocent person confess a crime he didn't do, they won't be condemned by that one, but for another crime, with a 3 month to 2 years detention)
It's preferred if the accused can await in freedom for the result of the judicial process that may lead to their imprisonment. There are a few measures to grant their compliance to the process.
This made me curious as to how many different legal systems there were. This wiki page has a global map of systems. Surprisingly, there isn’t a lot of variety. Most legal systems tend to be based on legislation (called civil law, originating in Rome), court rulings (called common law, originating in Britain), religious texts (called canon for christian, sharia for muslim, and halakha for jewish), or some mixture of those.
It absolutely happens before the conviction. Arrest records and mugshots are generally public information, and the press will publish them immediately in many cases.
There is also no obligation to retract/amend if the person is found innocent, and there is nothing the person can do if they use careful language (arrested for, accused of, allegedly). Most publications will refuse to take the article down later if the innocent person requests it, too, meaning that follows them forever. There are companies that make money offering the service to bury such articles to make it easier to get a job.
The US routinely demonstrates why most its peers do not do it this way.
this is America, half this country gets a boner when they think about shooting someone and being praised for it. all cops started this way and so they don't feel bad when the enable vigilante justice in others. they all think that shit's cool as hell anyway
Rights do not disappear just because you get accused.
In addition, the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" applies, and it is only the judge who decides what is proven and what is not (this protects from prejudice at the police)
I don't know all your amendments, but there is a thing like your 5th. just stronger: The accused is free not to help the police in any way. He may say things or remain silent, he needs not to give them things, and they may not create any kind of disadvantage for him from that. Also the court must not interpret this against him. Also spouse and family are not required to help or testify.
Traditional American understandings agree with the notion of innocent until proven guilty and that rights exist regardless of accusations. But here it is not a judge but a jury of your peers who decides the facts based on evidence shown to them. Here judges decide matters of law not fact.
(Unless you choose to have a judge rule on the facts (likely because you are probably unpopular in your community because of the nature of the accusations and you feel it'd be more fair for a judge to decide the fact in your eyes))..

Well, from American movies you usually get the impression that all rights disappear suddenly as soon as the police comes into the picture.... This is really very, very different here. Even as an accused you can talk to policemen like to normal people in 99% of all cases.
The name of the accused can't usually be reported on in Canada. Though there seems to be many exceptions. Also, released offenders get a lot of protection. It's pretty controversial, especially when it's someone famous like this case.
Another odd Canadian one. It has been codified that a suspect saying the words "I'm sorry" cannot be used as proof of guilt. Since in Canada especially, it leans a bit more into meaning "pardon" or "excuse me" rather than how an American might interpret it more as an apology.
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?
In dubio pro reo. Innocent until proven guilty. I thought that was in the universal declaration of human rights or something. Stunned to learn that any country that calls itself democratic could do otherwise.
Or, from another perspective: many people in my country take so much for granted, not knowing how lucky they are.
