Police don't choose whether to drop charges.
The vast majority of nonviolent crimes here now have no police involvement whatsoever. They just have you file an online report for you to forward to your insurance (if any). This includes catalytic converter thefts that can cost over $2000 alone to resolve, let alone other property loss plus vehicle damage.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> Police don't choose whether to drop charges. Police do choose whether and what resources to devote to investigation after a report. If they never identify an offender because they don't do anything with what they are given by retailers, there are no charges to drop. > The vast majority of nonviolent crimes here now have no police involvement whatsoever. Which is a choice by the police.
