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?
If a Judge is satisfied from the officerâs declaration that probable cause exists that the offense described has been committed and that the described defendant committed the offense, the Court issues a warrant of probable cause for the defendantâs arrest. This species of warrant is called a âRamey Warrantâ. In contrast to a traditional type of arrest warrant, Ramey warrants are issued before a formal complaint has been filed against the criminal suspect by the District Attorney.
