That’s a question I was hoping either lawyers or law enforcement people here could help me with. At this point it seems that criminal charges can only be filed by DA’s, AG’s, US attorneys, or local law enforcement. And that inability of the public to MAKE SURE that the laws are enforced is dangerous.
We have so many civil lawsuits it’s surreal. But when there is blatant evidence of criminal activity it seems like our hands are tied. Somebody PLEASE correct me. Tell me I’m just misunderstanding and this country is really in much better shape than it appears.
I think any Citizen can bring a Criminal Act to the attention of a DA, and if the DA doesn’t act, the Citizen can apply to the Court to force the DA to take action. Something to check on. I’m UK so can’t help more.
