- worik 5y agoWe have that in Aotearoa. I thing England does too. It is a help, better than the police investigating themselves. But class issues really come into play. The investigators are all lawyers and have never lived the sort of life where they are bullied by the police, and they have no idea of the dynamics. We can always do better, in this case we are doing better than we were but it is still quite bad
- jjtheblunt 5y agoin the US that's the District Attorney or Attorney General, i think, but forget which is which.
