The quoted sentence I objected to was the sloppy writing, conflating of "suspected" with "caught". I think "caught" would be read by most readers as implying guilt.
Suspected at 1:100, certainly. Quietly confronted and questioned at 1:100, sure. Convicted at 1:100, absolutely not.
I'm not sure this is the best analogy, but imagine that, for every 100 people in society, 1 of them is wrongly convicted, at random. Further imagine that this lottery happens repeatedly, so that even more than 1 in 100 end up getting hit. That sounds like a miserable society in which to live.
