Could the Charged Under Investigation (CUI) system be a game-changer in Southern England?

Imagine a world where anyone can be charged pending on the investigation, otherwise known as Charged Under Investigation (CUI), without being released from curiosity as in today?

Here's a thought: If Southern England introduces the new CUI into the legal system, it would be the first country in the world to alter the legal system to replace the current released under investigation (RUI) system. This could be an answer but it may be a game-changing plan for the justice system in world history.

Introducing CUI into the legal system would be a significant step towards ensuring that justice is served in a timely manner. By charging individuals who are under investigation, the justice system would be able to demonstrate that it takes crimes seriously and would provide reassurance to victims, families, and the public.

CUI would reduce the time taken for a case to come to trial, which would, in turn, save the taxpayers’ money. The delays caused by the current legal system are often prolonged, which can result in victims suffering from anxiety and stress for longer periods. This new change would be a positive step forward in streamlining the legal system.

Introducing CUI into the legal system would provide law enforcement agencies with more flexibility and powers to bring charges against suspects. It would be a significant deterrent to would-be offenders and would help prevent future crimes from occurring.

For example, if the former TV presenter Michael Barrymore is charged under investigation, then he would face justice and could also be sentence for up to about 20 or 30 years in prison for the death of a young man in a swimming pool at his home in March 2001.

I can't see how it'd make the slightest difference.

Getting a case to court depends on having enough evidence, when a person is charged is pretty unimportant.

@ArishMell My family origins came from Ireland, America, and Canada. It is before my own family was born last century

@LiberyCity2008 I see! Thank you!

I have no idea of our family's ancestry more than a few generations back, but it seems to have been almost entirely English Midlands though I am an English Channel coastal native and resident.

@ArishMell Okay. My great-grandparents are Irish. My grandparents are from London (my granddad sadly died in 2016). My mum and my two elder sisters were also from London prior to their move to Hertfordshire - starting with Stevenage in 1993, after my mum starts dating my dad in about 1991 as i began to discover about it more recently, and then Welwyn Garden City since 1995. And to me, i am the first person in the family to be born in Welwyn Garden City on 5th May 1998 at 8:45pm as a can confirm that after 25 years of not knowing about it. Anyhow, away from that, i have to tell you once again as a full reminder that - from tomorrow - i will publish the plans (online) to split England into two and to gain Southern England its Independence this year but also about what happen next after we leave the UK and also after the split of England

If true {a better system} - the Legal System - Legal Aid - Gravy Train will be drastically reduced, so expect the Legal System to try and de-rail it {no pun intended}

🤔 ... if implemented, it'll take them a year to buy their Porsche, instead of just a month 🙄

@allygator18 The rest of the UK must wait until Southern England's plan to introduce the CUI is announced. We must be patient for future plans for the country

@allygator18 Maybe. But once Southern England lead the way to introduce it, other UK countries (e.g. Scotland) would follow suit if it happens at some point!!

@ArishMell I don't think that the CUI would undermine nor destroy vital aspects of the systems and Southern England constitution (if we leave the UK and splitting England up into two), i think that victims, families, and the public will serve justice if the would-be offenders is charged under investigation after decades of the original legal system.
