Well outside the US it seems I stand corrected. I'm from the US and I find the notion of mandatory prosecution nonsensical. There is a limit to the workload a prosecutor can handle and prioritizing crimes is just one way to make sure more serious crimes get the manpower needed to prosecute. But thank you for pointing out that, also, the laws can always be changed which ultimately is political.
