Or, there's a process that's followed and if the victim doesn't want to press charges (ie, wouldn't want to file a police report, or show up in court), then they drop it knowing they won't be able to get a conviction without the victim's support. But sure, let's just go with "they're lazy."

Its on camera. Youre telling me a jury would be shown the video and say thats fine?

That's irrelevant as the case would not be brought to trial without the support of the victim afaik. It's ok, we can disagree.

It's harassment not the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. It would be heard in municipal court by a judge not a jury. It's considered a disorderly persons offense. The victim is the only one who can sign the complaint for a dp unless it is witnessed by the officer except in domestic violence situations.

Show the video to the officer.
