I was/am interested in it in large part because of the idea of private prosecutions. I had argued on other threads that ANYONE could prosecute someone for a crime, as long as they follow the rules of the court, and I was roundly smeared and scorned for even imagining such an idea, even though I knew it had happened in the past.

It’s not totally “people” who make up a court case, if the proper papers are filed with the court, the court MUST take notice. The court IS NOT the private tool/property of the public prosecutors.

Yes, a citizen should be able to enter a compliant with a court of standing or to a grand jury, also of standing, in the case.

I was impressed by Mr. Roots argument that the modern police forces have become like the “standing army” our Founders rejected, and only came to accept reluctantly, for the purpose of national defense both externally against enemy nations and pirates, and internally against the native tribes and insurrections.
