In reply to the discussion: "detained for questioning" in Guthrie case? [View all]Ilikepurple
(490 posts)I was It certainly was not clear upon the initial reports I read that they hauled anyone anywhere. This NBC headline is just one example Pima County Sheriff detained subject in Guthrie case during traffic stop. I could not find an article that implied they took them to the station until later, so I left that possibility open. I also thought it was possible that he was not being detained in a legal sense only that agreed to be questioned. I was just trying to make sense of the headlines and articles as you were. I had the understanding that police can make a warrantless arrest based on probable cause and then there is a 24-72 hour grace period for prosecutors to charge the person. Arrested without being. Harmed is a thing I believe. Are you saying being arrested and released without charges is not a thing? Im not sure if I was unclear or you just have a problem taking off your adversarial hat here. On further thought, maybe I have that problem too.
