Best Answer

The judicial branch reviews cases in court of everyone accused of breaking laws, and they have the final say as to whether someone has actually violated the law.

The executive branch contains the police and law enforcement officials, and they arrest people whom they believe to have broken laws. To an extent, you could say that the executive branch "decides" who has broken a law.

Law enforcement agencies such as the police are responsible for investigating if a law has been broken. Prosecutors then decide whether there is enough evidence to press charges and take the case to court. Ultimately, it is up to the judicial system, including judges and juries, to determine if someone is guilty of breaking the law.

The Prosecutors normally decide if a case should come to trial. However, policemen issue tickets that are evidence of a law being broken. It can be contested in court.

The judge/jury will ultimately determine if the law was actually broken.

A judge (and often a jury in some countries) at a trial. The police or traffic wardens may fine you for minor offences too.
