Subjects - Personal rights - Private prosecution
If you think that somebody should be prosecuted for a crime, but the police won't do it, then why don't you do it instead? The rights to take out a private prosecution is very rarely used nowadays, but until the police were invented during the 19th century virtually all prosecutions were private prosecutions, and the right to take out a private prosecution still exists in the vast majority of cases.
