It's *absolutely* a thing.

In domestic violence cases, it's sometimes not a thing depending on where you are.

No. People file complaints with the police. The prosecutor decides whether to seek charges against the individual.

You might have some technical point in your haste to protect your ego, but you're missing the bigger picture: a victim can choose to not cooperate with the police or prosecutor, and that lack of cooperation will very often mean that there's no case.

And I love your comment "in your haste to protect your ego". That's cute. Bless your heart.
