This power can be seen in the court system in the United States, where prosecutors are very powerful as a result of prosecutorial discretion, and some other legal systems have similar frameworks in place. There are some limitations on this power, as prosecutors may not violate civil rights by bringing charges vindictively or selectively, and they can be challenged on their decisions about when, where, and how to bring charges.
