"Nolle prosequi" is a Latin legal term meaning "to be unwilling to pursue."

What does charges dropped mean?
The term "charges dropped" is a slang term normally used when the prosecutor declines to prosecute the case. This covers cases being dismissed, nolle prosequi'ed, or dead docketed. Often, this is done by agreement or in exchange for the defendant doing something, or because the state's witness is uncooperative, or because the prosecutor determines that there is some fatal flaw in the facts or investigation that would lead to their case being unwinable at trial. Some prosecutors also have the discretion to "drop" charges where it is determined that prosecuting would be a waste of the state's resources.
How much time does the dea have to appeal a case after charges are dropped?
Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court. On the other hand, charges which are dismissed by the court CAN be appealed and there is a "reasonable" time period for remedying the underlying reason. Ask your defense attorney.
Can a nolo contendere be expunged?
Yes you can if the state you live in offers Expungements. Nolle prossed cases just mean that the prosecutor did not pursue the case for whatever reason therefore the charges would be dropped against you.Normally they can bring the charge back if new information comes to light within a year.After that you should be ok. Nolle prose is a Non Conviction term used in courts! As long as you have NO convictions on your record-you should be able to file for an Expungement!!
Can a judge act as a prosecutor after the nolle prosequi?
A "NOLLE PROSEQUI" is not a dismissal of the charges. It only means that, for whatever reason, it was the prosecutor's decision to decline to prosecute. His actions in the "nolle" do not mean the charges "go away" and his decision is subject to review by higher authority (e.g.- his superiors or a judicial officer). His decision COULD be over-ruled and the charges re-instituted. As far as a judge acting as a prosecutor - more information would have to be included as to exactly what the questioner is asking, or they mean by that statement.
If the charges are dropped can you bring legal action against the police if you sat in jail because of the charges?
In the US, anybody and sue anyone for anything . . the question is, do you have a case? Charges in a criminal case can be 'dropped' for any number of reasons, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the police did not have probable cause to arrest you in the first place. THAT is the burden you will have to prove - DID they have probable cause.

"Nolle prosequi" is a Latin legal term that means "to be unwilling to pursue." It is used in the legal system to indicate that the prosecutor does not intend to continue with a case or prosecution.
