I'm actually not wrong. In an indictable offence the Crown must take over the prosecution, and in any case the Crown may choose to take it over. Period. Once they do, it is out of your hands, and they may choose not to proceed with the prosecution, stopping it dead in its tracks. Please see the Fantino case.Just let it go. You are wrong. He is right. There are four steps to a PP. If a JP issues a summons you can have a private lawyer proceed with the prosecution even if the Crown Refuses. Case closed. It's very costly and probably won't suceed but it is your right. There have been people in BC that have brought on PP on Crown's for obstruction of justice for refusing to proceed.
The bottom line is this: If you have valid proof and not some whack job, the PP can work. A JP can't look at a videotape and affidavits and say "No crime has been committed". If a crime was committed it was. Even if the cops don't want to prosecute you still can. It's your right as a citizen. And yes I did talk to a lawyer. Well worth the money.
