If an officer walks up to you and believes you committed any sort of misdemeanor, by law, he has the right to arrest you and hold you until you are seen before the magistrate judge. The magistrate will look at your criminal background prior to meeting with you .The Magistrate will decide where you rank on one of the three options due to your background.
1.Trustworthy enough to be released on a "promise to appear agreement" after the hearing. You will be ordered to sign a promise to appear form and you are back on the streets
2.A "flight risk" is where the magistre can put a bond/bail on you to assure you will show up for court. If you don't show up to court while on bail/bond, the county spends no money nor time in locating you. They notify your bondsman that your bail was breached and gives him a date and time you are to be back behind bars or the full bail amount, coming out of the bail bondman's account, will be awarded to the county.
3. If he finds you not deserving or stable enough to be released , you will be removed from your holding cell and placed into the general population part of the jail, where you will sit, until a verdict is reached on your case. He can also hold you with option2 by setting your bail higher than the higher class American could ever afford
The time between your arrest date and your plea agreement/trial date is the time the officer is allowed to gather evidence, file his paperwork, and send it all off to the county attorney to use in your case.
This process save the officers time and the counties money.
SHORT ANSWER: This will be different in every state and jurisdiction as set by their unique statutes.
For example: In the District of Columbia there are seven (7) "probable cause" misdemeanors:
(1) Simple Assault
(2) Petit Larceny
(3) Unlawful Entry
(4) Receiving Stolen Property
(5) Attempted Larceny
(6) Attempted Burglary
(7) Attempted Stolen Auto
Note: These seven misdemeanors just happen to be unique to Washington DC. The exact charges in other jurisdcitions may (and probably will) differ from these.
