Re: Arrested but never charged
Hello. Under the law, a police officer can detain you for 48 hours without placing you under arrest. Since you were not charged, but were released, in my opinion, you did not violate your court supervision. If you have an attorney, tell him or her about this incident immediately. If you are not represented, you should retain an attorney as soon as possible to represent you.
