If you witnessed someone else in the same place as a known criminal ["at the wrong place at the wrong time", as it were] you would naturally assume their guilt by association as an accomplice, at least initially, regardless of whether they truly are guilty.

What happened to the "innocent until proven guilty" assumption? Also, why the hell the Empire sends the Dragonborn to the chopping block if he/she's not on the list? For all we know, most offences are punished by jailtime (e.g. trespassing, theft, even murder).

The empire has grown paranoid and overzealous, so go team Rolof!
