Can you drop the charges against someone who you had arrested for trespassing after warning?
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.

Does Allstate require a stolen vehicle report if a friend takes your car without permission and they wreck the car?
Absolutely they will want a police report. Not only that but they will also insist that you press charges unless you decide that you did give him permission to use the vehicle. If you gave him permission the accident will count against you and your policy. If you press charges, then it will not count against you.

Yes, unless somehow his charges cause the courts to decide otherwise, but in where this looks to be going, its more of trying to press stat rape charges on him, and that is a non violent crime and in most cases could get him in a lot of trouble, but serves no right to deny him his parental rights.
If you file a report for domestic violence can you cancel?
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.

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.
