There are incentives to intimidate and bribe in an inquisitorial legal approach as well and indeed, they may very well be worse in the form of systematic corruption.
The significant difference that I am suggesting is that the State does not take up the position of an adversary against the wishes of the parties involved. There are too many examples, especially in regards of victimless crimes, where both parties suffer through the proceedings.
