    Default Criminal Damage Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
    I want to know i went through a window at a motel and the manager stated that they didn't press charges (criminal damage-felony) so who would press charges if the manager of motel didn't?

    The state, on behalf of society as a whole. Management can still come after you in civil court for any costs or damages related to the incident.

    The Manager, as an Agent of the company has refused to press charges. It may still be reviewed by the upper echelon.

    However, IF the Company, as agent or owner, refuses to press the charges, IMO, the state can not, as they have no complainant.
