BBM. I totally agree with you on that point!Someone trying to advance their career by prosecuting false or (pardon the pun) trumped-up charges on innocent people would be wrong, IMO.
Someone advancing their career by prosecuting people who have actually (or probably) committed crimes is okay by me. It's pretty much a truism that prosecution of criminals will equate to a successful career for the prosecutor, yeah.
In fact, if a person is reasonably suspected of criminal activity, I don't think the various personal motivations of the prosecutor matter one bit -- as long as the law is followed, meaning a fair trial -- criminals should be prosecuted, period.
Any prosecutor who would NOT put full effort into prosecuting a likely criminal just because they like or hold the same political views as the criminal, is being unethical and should be fired or censured. IMO.
