Presumably there are some number of people N in the world that are wrongfully accused or imprisoned that would be exonerated by the advent of ubiquitous mindreading. There are also cold cases that would be solved and some number of outlaws M that would be brought to justice and prevented from doing further harm.
IDK how big N or M is or how everything would actually play out given all the risks and trade-offs, but I don’t think this post is really grappling with them deeply. There are lots of mundane ways that mindreading could reshape society disproportionately for the benefit of the honest and powerless.
