POTW: Hold the government accountable for failing to enforce the law?

I voted yes. Laws are passed by politicians who receive a mandate from the public. It is the duty of law enforcement to do exactly that. Enforce the law.

If said agencies fail to do so they should be accountable. Would not an Engineer be held accountable both civilly and criminally if his negligence resulted in the collapse of a bridge during rush hour? If law enforcement is held to a higher standard then your average Joe then then it's only rational that they be held accountable in instances such as this.
