    In most states attorney generals have arresting privileges and are the top cop in the state. They would be responsible for arresting sheriffs or even a governor for crimes.

      Weird system. In most countries public prosecutors are firmly in the judicial branch, because they are expected to be impartial and independent from the executive branch.
