Bro, what part of 'private criminal complaint system' and 'commonwealth attorney' didn't you understand? You do realize you file that at a court house, not a police station, right?

You wanna tell me anywhere on this document where it says anything about the police at all?

In most cases? Probably not. But then I return back to 'looks bad for a commonwealth attorney's election bid'. That form has to go on file and has to have a docket number, so it's not going to magically disappear into a shredder. And if a mirth of dropped prosecutions into trespassing suddenly gets handed to the incumbent attorney's opponent, that's great fodder for saying the incumbent doesn't mind complete strangers stalking around the houses of the citizens of the Commonwealth and committing crimes. That attack ad is practically writing itself.
