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.
The police can arrest you ANYWHERE.
