Crime in the UK can police charge you at home?

There are two ways in which the police start prosecutions in court: either by charge or by summons. In either case, the person involved is required by law to attend court at a time and place given to them. Generally, the police charge people in a police station either after they have been arrested or later when they have answered bail. This tends to happen in more serious cases. If someone has not been arrested then the police might issue a summons. This tends to happen in less serious cases. When the police issue a summons they tell the person that they will be reported. This can happen anywhere including in a person's home. A file is then sent to the court who, if they agree that there could be a case to answer, will write with an instruction to attend court. Sometimes the police summons people even though they have been previously arrested. This is legal although it does mean that the case often takes longer to reach court. For this reason it is used in less serious cases.

Can a police officer bring a narcotic issue in to the federal system?

If what you mean by a federal system you mean a supreme court, then NO. The only person who can bring a case to the supreme court is a lower court. Typically a case will get heard in a circuit court, then if contested, the findings will be reviewed by an appeals court and if it gets farther than that it will be reviewed by a state supreme court and eventually (only if it is a federal issue) it will be heard by the US supreme court. So technically a police officer can't bring it there, but he/she can be the initiator of the case on the lower level.Cheers!
