Talk about having a bad day in a foreign country...

"They described the men as undocumented workers -- a Mexican and a Guatemalan -- who "may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time," according to CNN Justice Correspondent Kelli Arena."

SG...nice avatar... are they real???:D :D

It is no different. The moment of arrest occurs when when a person is no longer free to leave. You do not need to be handcuffed to placed under arrest. Also, just because you get arrested does not mean that you have to be charged with a crime. Being handcuffed for officer safety is still technically an arrest.

That's really splitting some fine hairs Griff. You can dispute that all day in court if admissible evidence was at stake. For all intense purpose, in N.Y., you are not under arrest until the officer udders the words "you are under arrest".

Sh%t! Looks like that scumhole is still out there!

great 2 illegal persons that didn't belong here anyway. Goes to show you what is in this country.

Hey Speedgirl, can I answer this question????:rolleyes:


Doesn't sound like the guys they captured today are the sniper. Bummer.:mad:

I wasn't gonna weigh in, but thanks for doing it for me. It is rare to find ANYONE that knows what an arrest is anymore.:cool:

Its my job to know when the arrest occurs. :) If I didn't know, I'd be violating a lot of dirtbag's civil rights:D

Griff, if the subject is not told he/she is under arrest, he/she is not under arrest.

I can look up what article states what is an arrest and post it tomorrow if you would like a long read.

Please don't :D
