Okay, this may be a false accusation, but I thought when someone is accused, police must do their jobs and arrest the person accused and let a court decide if it's false or not, not the police.
ZMan, thats not how it works. Prosecutors are not allowed to file charges unless they have evidence to support those charges. However, with that said, sometimes the evidence is proven to be weak or false and then charges are dismissed, either by the prosecutor or the courts. But as to your comment, no it is not the courts that have FIRST decision as to whether accusations are false or not, it is the police who then bring what they have -if not believed to be false- to the prosecutor.
