How does the Government Initiate Criminal Charges

The video tutorial explains the process of criminal charges, starting with misdemeanors, which involve an officer filing a complaint and a judicial officer issuing charges. For more serious crimes, a grand jury, composed of community members, evaluates evidence to decide if a trial is warranted. The grand jury does not determine guilt but assesses if there is enough evidence for a trial. If sufficient evidence is found, an indictment is issued, allowing the prosecution to proceed with charges and arrest warrants.
