Actually only the state or federal court can bring civil charges. Private citizens have no jurisdiction over other citizens, except for parental rights.
ANY person with standing can file civil action against any person or entity EXCEPT SOME governments and their agents in any court that has jurisdiction armchair lawyers prove they are lost in space daily..
That suit is in the name of the court, not in the name of the person. Defendants are summoned to appear before the court, not before the plaintiff. It is up to the opinion of the court whether a suit can even proceed. So a person can file a lawsuit, but unless the court agrees to hear the case, there is no lawsuit.
