How Can I Get The CPS To Drop The Charges Against Me?

To successfully get the charges against you dropped before your court date, you need to work with your legal team, who will use one or more of the following reasons: 

If the evidence used against you was obtained illegally

If the evidence the prosecution uses against you has been found to be obtained in a way that is illegal, it can be ruled inadmissible in court. This can weaken the case against, and if it does so to the degree that it impedes the chance of conviction, the CPS may choose to drop charges. 

It is not in the public interest to go ahead with the prosecution. 

If prosecuting your case is deemed not to be in the public interest, the CPS may drop the charges. There is a wide range of factors that must be considered by the CPS to ascertain whether your case is in the public interest or not. 

These include the seriousness of the offence, the impact of the offence on the community, whether any informants need to be protected, the age and maturity level of the suspect, culpability, the harm that was done to the victim, and the seriousness of the offence committed. 

Lack of evidence

Last of all, one of the most common reasons that the CPS might drop charges is that the prosecution does not have enough evidence to convict. In this case, it would be a waste of public resources to hear the case when the likelihood of a conviction was already deemed to be low.
