It literally translates to “may you have the body”. Essentially what it means is that without a body(evidence) there is no proof a crime was committed. What this translates to in modern court is that a person cannot be brought up on trial for a charge without evidence that a crime was committed. In short habeas corpus is the requirement to prove a crime has occured.
Example, you can’t just be charged with speeding because an officer thinks you were speeding, but if they have video or photo evidence of your car speeding then charges could be brought. Still have to prove you were driving though.
