Question: What if i refuse to testify or go to court against a false imprisonment, or kidnapping charge will the charges be dropped ?

Answer: I assume that you are a witness. If the prosecutor gets annoyed, the prosecutor can issue a material witness warrant, which means that you can be jailed until the case goes to trial. So, as an annoyed prosecutor, I would jail you, schedule the case for about 60 days out, and see what type of mood you were in after spending 60 days in jail. Once I called you to testify, I would use your prior statements against the accused, and charge you with obstruction, after I obtained a conviction against the accused. I would oppose your bond on the obstruction charge (or false report) and would teach you not to play with the government. But to answer your question, if you do nto show up the charges might be dropped.
