Reverse-onus? Couldn't the PR people come up with something better?

It's a great idea - forcing someone with multiple gun offenses to prove why they should receive bail, instead of assuming they should and forcing the prosecutor to prove why they shouldn't.  And it fits well with the quasi three strikes law introduced recently and the increased mandatory minimum sentences.
 
But reverse-onus?  Is it just me or does it sound like it needs a PG13 rating?  Please, a thesaurus!  Anyone?
