Arrests occur when you are being charged with a crime. Detention occurs
when you are suspected on slim evidence of committing, assisting, or
witnessing a crime and there is sufficient cause to believe that either
you will flee the jurisdiction if released while the police seek more
evidence or that you will become a target of others wishing to silence
you, through coersion or termination.
