When clouds become charged due to the separation of positive and negative charges, lightning can occur when the electrical imbalance is released as a bolt of electricity. This discharge can happen within a cloud, between clouds, or from a cloud to the ground.
Correct! This charge separation creates an electric field that eventually leads to a discharge of electricity in the form of lightning, as the negative charges from the cloud and positive charges from the ground balance out.
You cannot drop charges. The state presses and/or drops criminal charges.
No, as a victim, you cannot drop charges against the perpetrator. The decision to pursue criminal charges lies with the prosecutor and the court, not the victim.
the person who filed the charges can drop them, the judge can drop them, or the police can drop them.Another View: Once the defendant is charged by law enforcement or the prosecutor's office ONLY the prosecutorcan make that decision.
just let the police know. Answer Go to the particular police that charges were filed with and tell them that you would like to drop the charges. If the person has other offenses, sometimes the police will not drop the charges even though you want to...such as assault, domestic violence, etc. They can take over at some point and it will not matter if you wish to drop charges. If it is an isolated incident, usually they will drop the charges at your request. It depends on the situation, the police agency.

No
No. Private citizens do not have the right to "press" or "drop" criminal charges. If the crime has been reported to the police, the prosecuting attorney's office then has the sole ability to decide whether or not to pursue the charges.
yes you can
Yes, a victim of assault can choose to drop charges against the perpetrator, but the decision ultimately lies with the prosecutor handling the case.
Unfortunately, once you have made the report, it cannot just be canceled. If you are trying to get the prosecuting attorney to drop the charges, you can contact the attorney and see if they are willing to drop the charges. However, even if you want the charges dropped, the prosecuting attorney has the discretion to decide to drop the charges and decide not to prosecute the case.
