    i was convicted of shooting with intent to kill,wound, or main in 1970. was granted clemency years later because it was the guy who shot me first gun. of course there was no check that went along with the paper work. never showed up on hazmat or twix card. so you should be good to go. lots of luck

    Next time use a UZI Machine Pistol with silencer then zip the guy up in a sleeping bag with a bag of concrete and throw him in the river. One thing for sure, there won't be any maiming or wounding to deal with.

    Plenty of people get accused of crimes, arrested and acquitted of charges or the charges are dropped all together. My guess is you were charged with accessory of some kind, you complied and explained what happened, an officer said "oh, okay!" and they dropped the charges. No big deal. It is, however, kind of BS that even that is still on your record.

    anything can go on your record. it's up to you to clean up the mess.

    The prosecutor does the charging and the LEO does the arresting. It sounds like after the arrest, the prosecutor determined there wasn't enough evidence to charge her.

    You cannot go to jail, be fingerprinted or arrested without committing a crime. You can't also have these things done to you if you are a person of interest. There is a spot on the arrest report where it says "charge". That must be filled out. If this person had a warrant issued, and was put in jail for however many days, they committed a crime. Now, if said person goes to court and the judge or jury find that the charge was unwarranted or there was not enough evidence to support it, then that charge is dropped and the record is cleared. The police can't just say "oh okay" and cut someone loose who committed a crime. That is up to a judge or a jury.

    Right. Now that is the other aspect. A prosecutor can come into the station, see the charge, look at the evidence then decide if it holds weight. That typically won't happen because now you open yourself up to a lawsuit for an unjust arrest. Typically the prosecutors office is notified prior to any arrest being made in these types of cases. The case is looked over and the prosecutors office will decide if there is enough to issue a warrant. Once the warrant is issued, 99.9% of the time, the prosecution has already looked over it and a judge signs off on it.
