Just because police believe you have committed an offence, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will end up going to a defended hearing (local court) or jury trial (district or supreme court). Police, or in more serious cases the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions), will have discretion as to whether a case should go all the way.
