A core principle of US criminal law is innocent until proven guilty, so this sort of legal framework would have trouble in the US.



That's a core principle of the law of all those countries, similarly strictly applied. The issue here is not the proof, but the definition of guilt. If you know you are supposed to ask where something comes from, you are guilty if you don't.
