IANAL, but the answers are yes and no.
Question for lawyers out there...was zimmerman taken in handcuffs to the station on the night of the shooting? If so was he “arrested” at that time?
IANAL, but the answers are yes and no.
If he was taken to the station in handcuffs than he
WAS arrested.....they can call it whatever they like
but if you are hauled into the police department in
handcuffs you have been arrested. Just because the
system likes to pervert English and call it “detained”
or “protective custody” means squat. If you are placed
in handcuffs by LEO and cannot come and go as you
wish when you wish you have been arrested. We need
to fight back against this BS of using empty words as
justification for abusing citizens rights.
