Surely the biggest issue is getting suspects charged? Rather than police and CPS making charging decisions for such offences why not have a grand jury style approach where the facts are laid before for the public to make a charging decision, ultimately it will be similar people making a decision on conviction. It would assist in reducing trust and confidence I. Policing and the CPS. Facts laid, decision made, charges laid. May also prevent No a comment style interviews as the suspects may want a grand jury what their defence is before even being charged!
