Note that original discussion was discussing extraordinary unusual circumstances already.

This isn’t your average „my neighbor built a fence and damaged my tree“ case.

In such cases, the technical differences between fully adversarial common law systems and mixed-but-still-some-inquisitive-powers systems like the Nordic law matters.

And of course it is not exactly like Napoleonic law countries.

Also, the police still runs investigations, even in France. It’s just that the judges can choose to not believe the police. Famously, even if you sign a confession they can say they don’t believe it.
