Here is a good example of a confusion of justice and practicality. The "just" thing to do would be to prosecute all crimes regardless of their nature or degree. Fortunately, along with our desire for justice we (as a society) also value efficiency and pragmatism.

Think of how justice is defined in a scriptural sense... Everything owed must be paid, every sin (no matter how small) must be paid for in order for the demands of justice to be satisfied.
