ABA states: Standard 3-1.2 Functions and Duties of the Prosecutor >(b) The primary duty of the prosecutor is to seek justice within the bounds of the law, not merely to convict. The prosecutor serves the public interest and should act with integrity and balanced judgment to increase public safety both by pursuing appropriate criminal charges of appropriate severity, and by exercising discretion to not pursue criminal charges in appropriate circumstances. The prosecutor should seek to protect the innocent and convict the guilty, consider the interests of victims and witnesses, and respect the constitutional and legal rights of all persons, including suspects and defendants. I get that everyone laughs at normative standards nowadays, and the concept of 'civic duty' is apparently dying out, but there's your standard right there. If you're forging warrants, you are abdicating the responsibilities of your station.
