Original Note:
PA allows a private citizen to commence a criminal charge by swearing PC to an attorney for the Commonwealth. While not a charge by the DA, it is an “charge” as a commencement and the state now decides if they agree or not. https://www.pacodeandbulletin.gov/Display/pacode?file=/secure/pacode/data/234/chapter5/s506.html
