A judge has to give a warrant.It is to the advantage of the person being asked to come into any police station to do so without causing problems. Cooperation is everything.

Is it legal for police to take a minor to the police station without being arrested?
Yes it is legal for an officer to take a minor to a police station without being arrested. This is called detainment. They are allowed to hold you for a period of unknown time, as every city and state is different. Usually 24 to 48 hours. However, if the minor is not being arrested and is being detained the officer must have probable cause to detain, such as possible runnaway or domestic violence, shoplifting etc. Usually the officer will call a parent or guardian to have them picked up from the police station if the minor cooperates and gives the contact information to the officer. But yes detainment is common.
