Afai can recall, only a few DAs are fighting - the DA of NY being one of them.

Usually the DA's office goes tooth and nail after offenders, so there must be a reason, I presume.

Of course there's a reason. Regulation is deeply captured http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture (reading this article and all the examples in it, some of them very recent, will be an eye opener if you are not familiar with them. Or cause you to put an SEP field over the whole thing because it looks too crazy to be true)
