Well if lying in my own blood in the middle of the road is more important than joy riders then that would just say it all for this society under this shoddy government.
There is a law case called R v Metropolitan Police Comr, ex p Blackburn [1968] which does indeed say that by common law police officers owe to the general public a duty to enforce criminal law, but it also goes on to say that there is a wie discretion as to how that duty is discharged, which inclues how resources are deployed, whether particular lines of enquiry are followed an even if particular crimes should be prosecuted.
Some of will know the latter when you have been pulled over by the police for speeding and have rambled your way out of it
If anything its public policy that they don't charge us for some crimes, because the majority WANT to speed
