You need to have an attorney to advise you.
Kidnapping is a crime in most countries. In which case "a person" can not drop charges, the charges are made by the state/police (on the basis of a complaint or evidence) and it is up to them whether or not to prosecute the person charged.
As with all crimes, the state and state alone makes the decision about whether or not to pursue criminal charges. It isn't up to the alleged victim.
If arrested for a DWI in the state of Texas it doesnt matter what happened with the case you still have to pay all chargers unless a judge takes the charges off in which case he would have told you and would only do it after you talked to him/her.If arrested for a DWI in the state of Texas it doesnt matter what happened with the case you still have to pay all chargers unless a judge takes the charges off in which case he would have told you and would only do it after you talked to him/her.
Individuals do NOT "press" charges. Only the state prosecutor can press charges. The most a citizen can can do is REPORT the offense to law enforcement and then let the law take its course.
Depending on the state and the crime...24 to 72 hours...after that you must be charged or released.
If that is the case, then the apprehending state will release you, UNLESS they have separate charges on you for a separate offense.
It happens all the time - every day. On behalf of "the state," prosecutors file charges in state court as representiatives of the Executive Branch of Government.
like charges repel ; unlike charges attract
Assuming that you mean the charges were originally taken by the victim and dropped by or at the request of the victim, Then if the state (in GA at least) motions to prosecute (typically domestics) on behalf of the state, then the charges stand and the victim takes on the role of victim/witness in stead of victim/complainant. The state can continue to pursue domestic violence charges and prosecution in domestic situations now due to laws adopted after years of battered spouses dropping charges against their abusers because of fear and misguided loyalty.
You may be charged with contempt of court, have your release agreement revoked and they stay in jail until both the contempt and the original charges go to court and are decided.
"People" don't press charges. The State (in the form of the prosecutor's office) presses charges. If the complainant in the offense you are being charged with is currently in prison, does not mean that you he can't be a witness against you in the offense you allegedly committed against him.
