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?
There are three principal types of criminal warrants: arrest warrants, search war rants, and bench warrants. An arrest warrant is a written order issued by a judge or other proper judicial officer, upon probable cause, directing a law enforcement officer to arrest a particular person. An arrest warrant is issued on the basis of a sworn com plaint charging that the accused person has committed a crime.
