That won’t happen here because of point #4. Police usually drop the charges because it’s impossible to prove intent but you still pay them a few hundred euros for the bother.

Why would you pay something if the case against you was dropped?

I'm pretty sure that I would not have to pay anything if I was targeted by the police but the case was dropped for whatever reason. I would probably just get a letter saying that the case was dropped.
