It is a common misconception that people can in fact "drop charges." However, once the authorities have become involved, it is no longer up to the individual to decide how to proceed with charges. The authorities, in conjunction with the attorney's office, decide whether enough evidence is present to proceed with a case, or if charges are indeed warranted and subsequently filed.
