Whether or not the DA chooses to prosecute does not impact whether or not the arrest was valid. If the officer had probable cause, the arrest was likely valid.

You should address your question with a local attorney for the best possible answer.

If you are arrested and the police don't tell you why what can you do?

Did they actually arrest you or did they only 'detain' you for a few minutes? A temporary detention for legitimate police purposes is NOT an arrest. If they took you into custody you had to be booked at their station. The charges will be set forth in the booking document, which is a public record.


If you were arrested but never charged does that6 the arrest show on your report?

If you were arrested, were you "booked in"? Fingerprints, mug shot, whole bunch of stupid questions, etc. If this was not done, you were not "arrested". Did anyone actually say "You are under arrest."?


Does getting arrested and being booked and printed but no charges being pressed and then no charges are pressed terminate my Diversion?

If you mean that the charges you were arrested on were Nolle Prossed - - the answer may well depend on the judge who granted you diversion in the first place. If they learn of the arrest they may begin to consider you a "bad risk" for the lenient sentence you were given, and they could withdraw the Diversion disposition. Only the judge will be able to answer your question.


When a person is arrested they are taken to a jail to be processed and booked?

Depending on the state the process may vary. In Texas when a person is arrested they are taken to the detention facility (jail) and booked in for the charges for which the officer either had a warrant of arrest or probable cause and an arrest authority. After being processed in the central booking facility then you will see the magistrate (a judge) to determine if probable cause existed for your arrest. In the event of a warrant the judge may review your bond or have other procedural things to tell you about, in the event you are arrested on a new charge the judge reads the probable cause affidavit and determines if the officer had probable cause to arrest you. If the judge agrees the officer did they sign the PC affidavit, set a bond amount (if any) and advise you of some details/important matters. After you are done with magistration you will then have an opportunity to make bond, or have a friend/family member do so, and within time after that is done you will be released on bond.


Does a served warrant constitute an arrest?

If you are not charged but only cautioned after arrest does this go on your record?

If you were arrested and booked then you WERE charged. Even if a judge only "cautioned" you it doesn't mean that it "went away." Any arrest will appear on your record, unless it was prior to your 18th birthday.

How can the police charge you with a felony without arresting you for it?

No. You could be named as a suspect in a felony crime and still be at large - BUT - if you were charged with a felony you would be taken into custody - booked - arraigned and officially notified of the charges against you. Then, you could be released - on bond or recognizance, if eligible.
