Sorry Sunfish to be so flippant with my terminology, that’s my policing career showing through. I usually dumb down the technical legal legal jargon when speaking to those outside of those professions because “on the balance of probabilities” or “SORG” or “BORG” aren’t easily explained to others. The old adage “innocent until prove guilty works for me.”
You’d be an entertaining field contact for your average plod to come across down the street with your Jedi mind tricks and all.
