"detained for questioning" in Guthrie case? [View all]

CNn and other news sources says a man has been "detained for questioning" but not arrested. But there is no such thing as putting someone in custody to answer questions. I have been a lawyer for 55 years and that included a lot of criminal law and have no idea what they are talking about. Unless someone voluntarily submits to questioning there is no way they can be held in custody unless they are arrested.

Obviously unlawful detention exists. If there was no such thing, we wouldn't need its associated due process right. Ilikepurple 13 hrs ago #21
