A man who was accused of sexually and physically assaulting a woman had his charges dropped in April, just weeks before he was set to stand trial in Toronto, due to a lack of judges in the region.

Fuck no!
Also Fuck No!
Why not?
Literally, the other is letting a repeat offender who just broke his original court order and poses “and significant risk to the public” (the words of the police) free.
Why on earth would you want that?
I do not know about this specific case nor am I in a position to decide what should or shouldn’t be happening about that person.
One thing you wrote really sounded my alarm bells. “(the words of the police)”. This is dangerous. The police should not do the judicial side of things! Neither explicitly nor implicitly. Police is biased by design against suspects.
And that is even if you disregard the numerous bad actors that police structures attract.
OK, since you don’t know the specifics of this case, you can’t say much. It is an extraordinary circumstance.
To the point, this guy is a repeat violent rapist and pedophile who already proved he can’t be trusted to follow court orders.
His ex-wife, who he almost murdered, already spoke to the danger he puts everyone in, including her.
It’s extremely rare for our local police to warn the community about someone who’s been released into their backyard. He 100% should not have been.
We don’t need specifics to know you don’t lock up people without an actual trial or to know that AI judges, with current tech, would be awful.
You can go find an actual police state to live in if that’s what you fancy.
I trust the words of the police about as much as those of a violent gang.
And I’m against locking up people without a trial on principle.
