What Is Difference Between Detainment and Arrest?Arrest
While the specific laws may vary from country to country, police forces usually have the power to arrest someone when they have reasonable grounds to consider that he may be in the act of committing a crime or have committed a crime. Someone who is arrested is, in effect, being accused of a crime.
Rights
People who are arrested usually have clearly defined rights, such as the right to an attorney and to remain silent.
Detainment for Questioning
Sometimes someone who is not directly suspected of a crime (possibly because of lack of evidence) may be taken into police custody for questioning and not allowed to leave. This situation is called detainment, and a detained person may be questioned without having been read her rights. Questioning of detainees may develop into an arrest, if their answers provoke suspicion.
Of course it benefits BHO - his spinmeisters are the best and besides
..it’s yet again a major distraction - to divert public attention from the damage he continues to wreak upon our country.
Would make a nice book, but we’ll have to wait and see how it really plays out.

Having a Son of Barack kill Zimmerman, either inside or outside of jail, might be the ideal solution for Obama. The only thing better for pleasing his base would be if the person who killed Zimmerman then got off, O.J. style., but there would not be time for a trial before the election.
When a badgemonkey says “ stay right there, I need to ask you a couple of questions” you’ve been detained.
When he lays hands on you, handcuffs you, puts you in a
cruiser and hauls you to the station you have been arrested.
Convenient abuses of language masquerading as legalese in
no way changes the truth and reality of what is happening.
And just because a blackrobed pirate who is paid by and serves the same evil master as the badgemonkey rubber stamps
the practice instead of being honest a calling all involuntary detentions by LEO what they are.....ARRESTS....
means nothing.
Rights and abuses are rights and abuses irregardless of the
evil acts and intentions of the legal system and the mindless minions that obey it.
Okey dokey. Thanks for revealing how little you care about the rule of law. Or know about it. LOL
