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.


If a person who is under arrest begins making statements without any questioning do you think that those statements would be inadmissible?

If the person under arrest has been advised of their rights, any statements would be admissible. Police are usually pretty careful to advise of rights so it's always best to say nothing except that you want a lawyer.


What is the definition of being arrested?

The law enforcement officer has to tell you that you are under arrest and they have to read you the Miranda Rights. If they have not told you that you are under arrest, they can simply have you "detained". If they have not told you that you are under arrest, and you are not in handcuffs, you are free to go.

What does a police officer in the US have to say and what difference does it make at the time of an arrest?

The officer has no specific words to say beyond informing you that you are under arrest. Occasionally you may be placed under arrest without ever being told. Many people wrongly believe that an officer must read a person their Miranda rights at arrest. This is not correct. Generally, Miranda rights are only necesary at the time of a custodial interrogation. If you are arrested and not questioned afterward then it is unlikely that you will be given Miranda rights.

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.
