See how these false perspectives come about? Detainment and arrest are two totally different things. In many states you can only be “detained” for 15 minutes while they investigate ID or not. They have to make a decision to either arrest you, or let you go on your way in that 15 minutes.
Now if you are officially “arrested” then they can hold you for 72 hours waiting arraignment in a court of law, which is now normally live video court. But constitutionally, they have to let you see a judge and make a plea as part of your “speedy trial” within 72 hours.
You can be detained for up to 72 hours in all states. It’s not an arrest, because the officer isn’t intending to bring charges against you unless there becomes a reason to do so. Then, you’ll be arrested. This allows the officer to look for reasons to see if there is a reason that you can be arrested.
Arrested is with the intention of bringing charges.
