Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Would a false accusation include an accusation for something that is not illegal? As in a Stalking charge filed for taking photographs that were within legal guidelines, and taken to document and prevent crimes . Charges were dismissed in Magistrate Court.

Your post makes absolutely no sense. When asking questions to lawyers, it is always a bad idea to see how many legal terms you can use (or in this case misuse). In plain English, please repost what actually happened in a straightforward way, how it affected you and what you real and actual concern is. Unless you do that, no lawyer is able to answer you.

I don't usually comment on followup emails from posters, but on this one I will. I received an email as a reply to my reply, and I felt compelled to mention that the lawyers that post here DONATE considerable free time, which reduces their income, to help people.

When a lawyer asks to "please repost what actually happened" that's going the extra mile to be able to help someone. Very often, laypersons needing legal help neglect to give the specific facts a lawyer needs to be helpful. Often, when a client comes to my office, that takes a good while, as initially clients often give conclusions rather than the basic facts.

I often answer followup questions here, and often answer others in email, by phone, and in my office. I've donated time for pro bono work for 31 years.

Obviously it would be improper for me to share the content of an email here, but I wanted to say this online so other posters will realize that when we ask for more information, it's because that would help us give a useful answer.
