I agree it's damaging, and for good reason. But if you were the NYPD, what would you do? Be afraid to track down an accused rapist just because he's famous and it might damage his credibility?
Are you claiming a french citizen can leave the US without having a passport?

As for treatment, it's not just DSK, it's the whole level of violence against suspects that is disgusting. A system that makes no discernable difference between a suspect and a convicted person is by definition not a just system.
