Just for maximum pedantry: it's normal for cops and prosecutors to coordinate (it's their job). Americans frequently treat state attorneys as if they're not fundamentally "in law enforcement," which is absolutely not the case.

But I do agree with you about Virginia (from personal experience as well), and there should be a firewall between the police and actual trial judges.

Should judges be working with enforcement? Aren't there meant to be checks and balances?
