Many things go into the decision, the first is making sure that a specific statute or law applies to the offence. Second, unless they can be reasonably sure of a conviction, they will not proceed because they all rely on the arrest vs. conviction record when it's time to be elected again.

72 HOURS IF NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED IN 72 HOURS YOU MUST BE RELEASED. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY IN THOSE 72 HOURS.

Yeah, they can pretty much do what ever they want. Right now my brother is sitting in jail because an officer said he kicked a car door into his leg. This is considered assault on an officer, and that is a felony. If he is convicted he could serve 2 to 10 years. It sucks because we can't do anything about it, and it is all because this officer wants to lie.

Ok, you know you did the crime so why not just turn yourself in and do the time?  Get it over with.  You can run as far away as you want but this will live w/ you forever.  Crime doesnt pay at all.\n\nBtw, its people like you with the dui that my sister is dead today.

That means that during an encounter with police,  the person failed to tell the cops they were a fugitive.  It is basically a way of tacking on another crime to a fugitive.

Yes indeed. the officer can cite you later. The legnth of time depends on the state you were pulled over in.\nIn New York it is up to 90 Days.

I wish I knew just what you are referring to as I may be able to give you a better answer. But police officers, Minsters, school teachers, laywers and groups of people have bad apples. One bad apple can make the rest look bad. But believe me, Officers get caught. I know from experience where I have arrested my own or fired them or took what ever action needed to be taken. True: Some get away. Just the same as others. But some get caught.

Yep. it is illegal.\nThis is called "false arrest".[1]\nContact a lawyer immediately.

The Police will generally tow the vehicle to protect it until your release. In most jurisdictions you can sign a waiver and have your vehicle left at the scene. However, sometimes this is not allowed because there is no legal place to park the vehicle or the area is too dangerous to leave the vehicle.\n\nThe police will not seize the car for these offenses. The police will only seize assets if the vehicle was used to transport drugs or bought using drug money.

I don't think so...but if get stopped again then there yes they will arrest you..but you should go back home and present yourself and try to fix all that..:)

That's a tough one. I think it is better to keep innocent people out of jail at all costs. Although frightening to let criminals walk I suspect most of them will be caught again.

It depends on where you live, i think. Where I live there is no limit on time. You can report someone, even decades later.

In the US, you are arrested on probable cause, if you can not make bail you will be held till court.  ( this can take up to a year in some cases)

depends on the age of the child, under like five or so they start as soon as the child reported missing and after that it varies by age the older they get the more the police figure the child went without a fight or volunteered to go, ran away basically.

Most crimes, the only exceptions being very serious crimes like murder and rape, have what is called a statute of limitations associated with them.\n\nThe limits vary depending on the crime committed and the location, and there may be special exclusions in your area, but generally, charges would have to be brought within a year or two of the date on which the crime was committed.

Sounds like you are suggesting we detain people that COULD commit a crime. Sorry still cant do that. In this country CITIZENS are STILL considered INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty.
