Discussion

Davor Ivic Apr 15, 2013:
it really depends on the legislation However, in this sentence an obligation is not an issue, it says that "prosecution has decided to take an action according to the law suit"
Daryo Apr 15, 2013:
I think the wording of the ST is slightly misleading; when a crime is reported, the district attorney (or whoever is in charge to decide to investigate or not) decides what to do or not to do; a "crime report" is not an order or instruction to the DA, so there's no implied obligation "to act accordingly".
