Legal Question in Family Law in California

Is L.A. D.A. Above the Law?

The DA was presented with evidence that the father's income and expense declarations were perjured, yet they chose to be complicit.

I recently spoke with an attorney about any possible recourse. He informed me of a minor point - that the DA has the discretion to close a case even when the father owes money. He also informed me of the larger point - that the DA's office (and government in general) has immunity . Is this correct?
