Canada's hopelessly broken justice system is fodder for never-ending comedy sitcoms

Scene 1: Take One:  Two young people out on a date return home in the early hours of the morning (3 AM).  They open the door as quietly as possible in order not to wake up the girl's mother.

Scene 1: Take Two:  All of a sudden, they notice a pair of  running shoes at the bottom of the stairs, the stairs that lead to the mother's bedroom.

Scene 1: Take Three:  The young lovers look at one another aghast.  Heavy panting going on now.  This is scared-to-hell panting, not the love-making kind.  An unseen intruder's in the house with them and the probably fast asleep mother upstairs.

Scene 2: Take One:  The brave young man, all 150 pounds of him in a lanky 6ft something frame, grabs a kitchen knife and tip-toes upstairs.  The girlfriend whispers "be careful please" while she shivers uncontrollably and calls 911.

Scene 2: Take Two: The brave young man finds the intruder in his potential mother-in-law's bedroom and lunges at him with the knife.  He cuts the intruder in more than one place in the confrontation.  The intruder finally flees the house.

Scene 2: Take Three:  The Toronto police arrive intact with that bully behaviour they are famous for, at  it's very best.  The first thing they do is arrest the brave young man  and haul him away.
