There are two types of arrests: Arrest by warrant and probable cause arrest. They are further broken down to felony and misdemeanor.For an arrest by warrant the Officer swears that the facts are true, lists the facts, takes it to the judge to be signed. The judge reads and reviews the warrant and approves it and signs it, or he denies stating his/her reason or reasons for denying it. Then the Officer either goes and meets the subject face to face and serves the warrant by reading the warrant in its entirety and places the subject in custody.And transports him/her to jail where she/he is booked into jail and questioned. After questioning and returning him/her to their cells, the Officer completes his report and forwards it to the State Attorney for further disposition.Within 24 hours of the arrest, the subject is brought before a judge usually on closed circuit t.v. the subject is read the accusations against them. Asked if they understand the charges, asked if they have a lawyer, asked if they can afford a lawyer, set a court date and returned to jail/
Court Procedures, at any time after a probable cause hearing, if one can afford a private attorney to represent you one may do so.The attorney may petition the court for a bond hearing at which time the judge may or may not grant the subject a bond, the judge can also set the amount of the bond and the conditions for the bond. The next step is the arraignment.This is where the subject is formally charged. The charges are read, the subject enters a plea, and the defendant can request that the State present enough evidence to establish it has a prima facie case. Next is motions, jury selection, and trials
Are you telling me she can be arrested with out charges being filed? Now, that is scary.
I think that was your question.
Yes you can be arrested without charges being filed against you. They will be filed but they have to go down the paper work trail. Within 24 hours after your arrest, you will see a judge. They will review the facts and make a decision. They are a number of programs about this on you tube should you wish to enhance your knowledge,
