I tend to agree. I dislike the idea of the inquisitorial trial process. At the same time, however, I see a value in the criminal investigation being separate from the executive and a part of the judiciary. We can see throughout history the challenges with both common and civil law systems and the way the justice system has been corrupted either by the executive or the judicial branches, depending on the country.
