That's what bugs me. But all you can do is the best you can.

I admit the UK system isn't perfect and there have been some huge miscarriages of justice, but another Dwellar went through a situation recently where a restraining order was applied and I was gobsmacked. Took me a while to realise it's a common factor in the US and doesn't mean spousal/ child abuse as it would here.

I'd love to hear about a country that had got it right, then I'd be happy to lobby Parliament to update our biased system.
