Can charges be filed by the police even if the victim chooses not to?

if someones credit card was used to make an online purchase and the card did not belong to the person that made the purchase….can the police file charges even if the card holder decided not to? since the purchase was online and nothing was signed for could the charge be identity theft? or just credit card theft or credit card fraud?

Traffic Lawyer Richard Simon’s Answer

The police could always charge you but this question appears to demonstrate that no evidence has been presented to the police. This case would be hard to try without the testimony of the person who owned the card and for all anyone knows, they gave you permission.

Speeding Ticket KC

Ready to clean up your Missouri driving record?

We serve drivers across the entire KC metro — Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, and Johnson counties. You do not need to appear in court or visit the DOR in person. We handle everything remotely.

Call (816) 398-8772 or use the contact form on this page for a free consultation. We will review your full driving record, tell you exactly what can be removed, and give you a flat-fee quote before you decide anything.

If your ticket is recent and you have not yet been convicted, we may be able to fight it in court before it ever reaches your record — which is always the better outcome when that option is still available.

Driving Record Analysis

We pull your Missouri driving record and review it in detail, noting any suspended license issues, outstanding tickets, or points that may be eligible for removal. We send you a copy of the record with analysis of what is on it.

Ticket Removal & Purge

We have the original ticket set aside by the court and amended to a non-moving violation. For older tickets (3+ years), we contact the Department of Revenue and have them purged from your record.
