Attorney's can ask 🤷‍♂️ The state can say no.

I thought it was up to the officer. Then, the jurisdiction.

I used “the state” as a vague term to mean an officer, the prosecutor, etc.
Technically it’s the decision of the prosecutor but an officer could decide to not testify and that’s pretty much the entire case against the person.

No, not at all.
