JUSTICE REFORM
Prosecutors and judges weird huge power on what cases are heard, what charges ate filed and what the sentences are. They are free from any responsibility for any of their decisions. There should be no bonuses for convictions, there should be no conviction without thorough investigation by experienced investigators. Anyone giving false testimony; or coercing anyone else to do same shall be liable for all attorney fees and for any of accused lost wages. Judges and prosecutors should lose their licenses when civil rights have been violated and no complete investigation done and should be liable for same compensation as perturbed witnesses.
Why is this important?
The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world because of the lack of oversight for judges and lawyers and the profit and power given for every conviction. The incarceration rate in Canada is 127 per 100,000 while in the US it is 698 per 100,000. This can not continue.
