Sure, if we also provide every citizen with the entire set of laws that they are supposed to obey, in an intelligible format. As the prosecutor said in TFA, "everyone is guilty of something", because there are too many laws in force, and no-one knows them all.
Add to that the costs of defending a court case, and the prosecutor has more-or-less complete power - they can financially ruin someone at will, just (as in this case) by deciding to enforce an obscure law that the defendant didn't even know about.
So making the prosecutors adverserial to the citizens, while giving them absolute power to destroy anyone they don't like, is a recipe for corruption.
