A DPP may be subject to varying degrees of control by the Attorney General, usually by a formal written directive which must be published. In Australia, at least in the case of very serious matters, the DPP will be asked by the police, during the course of the investigation, to advise them on sufficiency of evidence, and may well be asked, if he or she thinks it proper, to prepare an application to the relevant court for search, listening device or telecommunications interception warrants. More recent constitutions, such as South Africas, tend to guarantee the independence and impartiality of the DPP. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutor#Directors_of_Public_Prosecutions
