Also, security researchers should have strong legal protections; they should be given the benefit of the doubt at every turn.

Currently, researchers are sometimes threatened with decades in prison for testing the security of websites or devices. If they act in good faith as researchers, this should never happen.

This is literally a national security issue. We currently stifle security research on essential IoT devices primarily so companies can avoid being embarrassed by their own poor security.
