If an police officier makes a mistake on a ticket can the charges be dropped in court due to officer error?

It MIGHT depend on the mistake you are referring to, but usually NO, it doesn't make any difference.
In the law these are referred to as "scriveners errors" and if enough of the information contained on the ticket is sufficient to prove that it was actually YOU that the officer was ticketing, then a wrong date, or a misspelling of a name will not do the trick.

Does a law enforcement officer have the right to press charges against a person involved in a domestic with a spouse when the spouse does not feel the need to press charges?

What is the procedure to have charges dropped?
It depends on the nature of the offence as to whether charges can be dropped. For example I had a friend that got stabbed off a random person. She initially pressed charges, and the cps picked up the case for crown court as there were lots of evidence. She changed her mind due to the random guy being a bit of a head case, but it had already gone past the police and was with the crown prosecution service. She was told if she didn't attend court they would hold her in contempt and she would face charges herself! However, if its a minor offence, and only recently been given to the police, you can ask to change your statement or withdraw it completly. You will need to ring your designated officer immediatly. Good luck :o)
