It's always been that way, prosecutorial discretion is a core principle of functioning legal systems. Without it there would be more civil rights violations and our criminal justice system would be paralyzed by resources being spread even thinner than now.

It's actually a problem. I'd rather more public outcry, and more juries nullifying outcomes for grannies getting sent to prison for 10 years for not putting their handicap sign in the window or whatever inane bullshit there is instead of the totally fake system we have now.

Good. If the government can't prove guilt in a timely fashion, the innocent should not have to put up with it.
