My question involves criminal law for the state of: California. Hey guys my friends stole pizza from a pizza man and gave them their friends number. After they got away the pizza place called the number and arrested the person whose number belonged to them...Anyways, they (the stealers) didnt know this would happen and they knew the person that got arrested so they went to the pizza place and talked to the manager and paid for the pizza their friends had taken. When they paid for the pizza the manager told the kids that they were square and that the store does not want to press charges. My question is...Since the Pizza place did NOT want to press charges, can the cops still decide to and get them in trouble???? PLEASE HELP ME, IM ON END
