The concept of due process is rooted in English common law and expressed in "Magna Carta", Art. 39 (1215), whereby the King promised that 'No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned or disseised or exiled or in any way destroyed ... except by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law of the land'. This was later interpreted to require trial by jury. 4, record 1, English, - due%20process%20of%20law

"Due process" is an imprecise and elastic term, the meaning of which varies with time and place. Basically, it suggests fundamental fairness and tries to apply that concept to all parts of the criminal process. The breadth of the concept depends upon the subjective view of the American courts, particularly the United States Supreme Court. In the last twenty years "due process" has included protections against self-incrimination, coerced confessions, illegal searches, denial of counsel or jury trial and unregulated eavesdropping. In the American system a judicial finding that law enforcement officials have offended due process will result in a complete exclusion of the impugned evidence and will usually result in the acquittal of the accused. 5, record 1, English, - due%20process%20of%20law

We also need to eliminate the possibility that our sense of responsible citizenship and our "community-mindedness" might be undermined by the false impression that technology is taking care of things. For example, witnesses to an accident could come to rely on a video camera recording the relevant details and feel that they had no obligation to report what they had seen. Instead, they would rely on the anonymous person who views the video recording to do the job that a citizen ought to have done. 2, record 14, English, - responsible%20citizenship

Il ne faut pas non plus que notre esprit de civisme et de communauté se refroidisse parce que nous avons la fausse impression qu'une technologie anonyme prend les choses en main. Par exemple, les témoins d’un accident pourraient considérer qu'ils n’ ont aucune obligation de signaler ce qu'ils ont vu étant donné qu'une caméra vidéo a déjà enregistré les détails pertinents. Ils s’en remettraient plutôt à l'inconnu chargé d’examiner l'enregistrement en question pour faire le travail incombant normalement à un citoyen responsable. 3, record 14, French, - esprit%20de%20civisme
