It would be a legal obligation for a prosecutor when making a charge to publically enter the charge along with the likelihood into a database. Making errors with filing charges will be problematic for the prosecutor the same way it’s problematic now, it can make a court throw out the charges on procedural grounds.
Then when an election comes around the election commission has the job to calculate the Briers score to put it on the ballot.
The job of administrating the database could be done be done by the court where the charges get filled, so that it’s outside of the realm that the prosecutor can influence.
If upfront assessments are provided, I expect the defense bar would gleefully keep track of such things.
They already informally track the behavior of the DA’s offices they deal with. They’re extremely organized in some areas and in near-constant communication with one another.
What’s to stop the prosecutor from lying about their Briers score?
