No, it does not have to be: the prosecutor could voluntarily choose to dismiss it, but is not required to. You are not allowed to obstruct the police, an investigation, or justice even if it turns out that they the underlying legal issue is moot; the act of obstruction, regardless of the outcome of the underlying matter, is improper.
