The idea of "pressing charges" is laughable. Someone commits a crime and literally the victim has a say whether the criminal goes to jail or not. He's still a criminal! Imagine a murderer kills a victim and the victim literally decides not to press charges. This murderer is out there free still free to murder people?

Do you think American laws are stupid as hell. Let's see what people think.

I think the government can "press charges" as well.

But that said if there's no complaining victim you can't prove a crime even occurred.

This. It's not just a matter of the victim not pressing charges, but because the state is usually unwilling to press charges if there isn't a cooperative victim. That's just a waste of resources, especially given the fact that our system is built around getting defendants to accept plea bargains the vast majority of time.

You're wrong.

Prosecutors can charge crimes without the victim doing so. It's just very hard for the prosecution if the victims do not participate.

It is the state v the defendant.

The state simply has a very hard case if there is only one witness and they refuse to testify.

It also gives the defense lots of options.

Is that why police always get no jail time for police brutality because victims never cooperate?
