  You are describing a legal system that is written on paper. we have a real one. It's an easy mistake for programmers to make. We work in a world of provable absolutes that behave exactly as written.

  A judge would throw that case out, if you could afford a decent attorney who would be able to raise that point in a hearing.

  > No, you cannot be charged literally without evidence. A judge would throw the case out, and likely censure or sanction the prosecutor. Of course you can. All that's required is someone allege there is evidence establishing probable cause. Perhaps that so-called evidence has a perfectly innocent explanation that the person making the allegations is unaware of or choses to ignore. Perhaps the person making the allegations is mistaken. Perhaps they are even lying. And sure, lack of evidence is grounds for getting cases thrown out. However, you need to make that case first. That requires time, representation and usually the services of a private investigator. The judge is not going to make that case for you. Even if you get baseless charges thrown out, prosecutors are very rarely sanctioned.
