Define what you think you mean by "dropped."

Charges can be "dropped" in several different ways.

They can be "Nolle Prossed" by the prosecutors office before the case ever goes to court.

When the case gets to court, the judge can Dismiss a case in several ways

Dismissed WITH Prejudice - meaning that the charge can NOT be presented tp court again.

Dismissed WITHOUT Prejudice - which means that the charge presented to court CAN be re-charged and brought back to court. THis usually occurs when there is some minor technicality of law that prevents the judge from porceeding at that point.

Also: Whatever happens to the case - the record of your arrest and the charge by

the police will still remain, UNLESS/UNTIL you take legal action to have the record expunged of the offense.
