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?
Having a warrant out for your arrest is a serious problem that can result from a range of situations, from missed court dates to criminal offenses. In some cases, you may not even know there is a warrant for your arrest, which means you could be taken into custody at a routine traffic stop, the office, or your own home. You can also call the county, state, or federal clerk's office. 2  Note that if you call from your own phone, the police may be able to locate and arrest you. 3  They can trace the phone number to an address, or to any billing information associated with that phone number.
