maryland prosecution
Can I prosecute another way if a states attorney declines to?
<p>Is there any way to prosecute someone and bring them before a judge if the states attorney office declines to? Or can I sue the states attorney and force prosecution?</p>
<p>The state is Maryland if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>No. You can't bring a private criminal prosecution in Maryland. There are a handful of U.S. states where you can, but Maryland is not one of them.</p>
<p>You can bring a civil lawsuit for money damages and/or injunctive relief against someone who has caused you injury as a private individual.</p>
