Experiences with the Crown as a plaintiff - Lemmy.World

I am curious of the experiences/opinions of those who have had first hand or any other close encounters with the Crown as a plaintiff in Ontario. In my two unique experiences, I have found a few things to appear true: - the Crown sometimes forgets their duty to act in the public interest and can pursue a case where those involved on both sides do not personally want to pursue a legal dispute. - the Crown does not act with enough discretion at times to throw out charges by the police which are flagrantly exaggerated and highly unlikely to succeed on their merits. - the Crown does not lend enough nuance to their pursuits and needs to focus on diversifying away from a punishment-based system. Of course these are from personal experiences so I would like to hear from others in Ontario to know what you think. All experiences, opinions, and discussions are with the exception of clearly provocative and/or discriminatory demeanour. Thanks!

Please protect your personal information, people. For those curious what sparked the idea of posting this - it was Doug Ford’s proposal for live-streaming bail hearings, which gave me a push towards discussing things I’ve never really publicly discussed.
Said proposal is a simple attempt to appease the angry mob out for blood justice, and to cause undue stress and coerce the justice making any decisions to avoid having to deal with the likely threats and potential violence towards them and their families by said mob.
