(4) If at any time after the onset of the temporary detention authorized by subsection (2), probable cause for arrest of person shall appear, the person shall be arrested. If, after an inquiry into the circumstances which prompted the temporary detention, no probable cause for the arrest of the person shall appear, the person shall be released.

Here's the other part of the law you're ignoring.

Zimmerman wasn't released. He was handcuffed and removed from the scene in a police car, therefore he was arrested according to the law -- the law of Florida, and the law according to the Constitution (look up Florida v Royer (1983)). Your use of caps lock doesn't negate that.

CAN A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER DETAIN YOU WITHOUT ARRESTING YOU?

Based upon reasonable suspicion that you may be involved in criminal activity, a police officer may require you to identify yourself and explain your presence at a particular time, without arresting you. Under Florida law the officer may not remove you from the immediate vicinity without making an arrest, unless you voluntarily accompany the officer to some other location.

Click the link and look for other loopy loop-holes to support your weak argument. I don't care.
 
As I keep saying - Zimmerman was not arrested. He was detained. And no charges have been brough to him as I FReep this.
 
If Zimmerman had not voluntarily accompanied the officer to some other location,. then perhaps he might have been arrested. But that's not what happened
 
Zimmerman did voluntarily accompany the officer to some other location.
