I'm a staunch advocate for evidence-based analysis, so I have trouble with the notion that just because "everybody knows" something it must be true.
Ever the lawyer, leave the burden of proof on the prosecutor. There are cases of good samaritans being sued for good faith actions. They usually are dismissed, for a starter Boccasile vs. Cajun Music Limited. I'm sure you can find many more using Google if you'd bother, but then that wouldn't make your point, would it?
