Okay, what are we missing here.
Why did we spend tax $$$ for investigations etc... and to bring charges only to drop it all because the Crown withdraws the charges citing not enough evidence to convict?
These news stories are a boon for me because I don't need to know any of the relevant facts to make a cogent comment. And if my comment is not cogent I don't know the difference. And if the difference is pointed out to me I can argue back because it's all opinions anyway. Whether the opinions are informed or uninformed doesn't seem to matter. Define "seem"? Sure, I can do that.
It's all a charade. Who really thinks the investigation and charges were brought on behalf of the citizen ergo taxpayer? It's laughable. It's about optics and a convenient make work program.
Sometimes the system works if it makes people think, help them realize the negative consequences they may face in the near future and help save them and others on the road.
