Sure, Chris Rock didn't want to press charges but that doesn't mean the LAPD can't, and they should. You can't just assault someone, it's barbaric.

Do you not understand that just because someone doesn't press charges doesn't mean charges still can't happen. Or do you think for every crime someone has to press charges? Who could be that obtuse?

The state generally can't/won't press battery charges if the victim doesn't.

These two things are not likely compatible. He chose the former rather than the latter.

I'll take what a doctor of law has to say about the matter over a random GameFAQs user. You said they generally can't and that just isn't true, they can and will no matter what the victim says. You might as well not even post in this topic anymore because it's already been proven you don't know shit about the subject.

Nothing in that answer proves him wrong. It clarifies that the state CAN press charges, not that they WILL.

And yeah I've seen people on this board talk about suing too. Over a slap. lol

But like I said, if someone just slaps someone and the guy doesn't complain. 100% of the time nothing will happen. Hell many times if something does happen not much will happen. You know many times people get in to fights and police just breaks up people and tell them to go about their way.

You can poke someone in the chest in an argument and it's still technically considered battery, at least in California.

Still, at WORST he might have to do some 16-week anger management and do a book and release, but that's not likely. DA's (again, in Cali) really only seem to care when it's a DV case, at least from my experience.

It can be if the victim wants to press charges.

Yea most police don't want to deal with bullshit.

Problem is that sometimes it'd end up with people dying or getting hospitalized if they pass it off.

Like calm a domestic dispute down and come back a hour later to a homicide.

While not impossible, pressing charges when the victim doesn't want to do so - especially when it's a relatively minor crime and the victim is an adult - is generally frowned upon.
