I read something once: "No State shall...deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." If a regular citizen offers evidence of a crime, and the powers that be do nothing, it would seem that would violate the clause stated above. Oh, wait - that was from the Constitution. Never mind..
