    Default Re: If Charges Are 'Dropped' Are They Dropped Forever

    I forgot to mention.
    Charges were dropped and I was 'cautioned' (warning that stays on my record for 3 years).

    Is this the FINAL decision then? The caution?

    Or can the drunken behaviour / violence charges re-appear later?

    This is a U.S. site. It deal with laws/statutes for the United States. The UK is not the U.S. and it's procedures and laws are different. Find a UK site.

    Oh sorry. I was just hoping the laws were similar in some way, and Google searching landed me here. Thanks anyway.
    If anyone can help thats great - I'll look for a UK site too

    In that context, the opposite of "right" is "left", not "wrong".

    H.Gale, you have something on your side of the pond called an ASBO. We don't have those here and, from what I've read of them, they really can change the calculus when looking at situations like this.
