If the police take you to the station are you under arrest?
If they have not declared you 'under arrest', and read you your Miranda rights, then you are not under arrest, you are just in police custody. That would be a good time to consult your lawyer.Another View: (in the US) Whether you are told, "You are under arrest," or not, BELIEVE ME, if you are taken to the police station and are not free to decline the trip, you ARE under arrest.ALSO; You do NOT have to be read your Miranda Rights at the time of your arrest. You must only be advised of them PRIOR to the start of any questioning about the offense.
When is a person under arrest?
A person is "under arrest" when a police officer charges them with a crime and chooses to take them to the police station to be processed for it. For example, if someone commits a crime, they are technically under arrest when a police officer witnesses the crime or has a warrant for the arrest and tells the criminal "You are under arrest." Typical procedure after this is to put handcuffs on the criminal and read them their Miranda rights (you have the right to remain silent etc). Handcuffs alone do not mean arrest, but i'm pretty sure its illegal for a police officer to handcuff someone without grounds to arrest them. As a side note, the person doing the arrest does not have to be a sworn in police officer. In Citizen's arrest cases, anyone with arresting powers like a bounty hunter can also place someone under arrest.
