We were heartened to learn that in many areas, Bridgeway Academy exceeds educational requirements, exceeds what other accredited homeschool organizations provide, and exceeds the expectations of our students.
Not all detentions by the police amount to an arrest. The police may detain an individual in order to issue a citation, for example, for minor traffic infractions or for some criminal misdemeanors. A citation, once signed by the suspect, amounts to an agreement, in lieu of an arrest, to appear in court at a later date. This temporary detention is permissible but is not considered an arrest (although it may still trigger the police officerâs right to search the suspect, as explained below). How are People Arrested?
A warrant to arrest remains in force until it is executed or withdrawn, except where a bail date is given. A warrant not executed by a given bail date becomes invalid. It is unlikely that you will be charged for this minor offence after 17 years and I'm sure it has been 'cleared up' by the police because the time limit of commencing prosecution within 6 months has been exceeded. Hope this helps.
