How long does it take the court to give you an arraignment hearing?

After you are placed under arrest you should be presented to court at the next regularly scheduled session of court - and this can depend on the jurisdiction. In many highly urbanized metropolitan areas, court can be constantly in session with a so-called "duty judge" on at all times. In less densely populated and rural areas, court may be out of session over the weekends and holidays, and you could be held for as long as 48 hours.Remember - the legality of your arrest has already been ruled upon by the judge at the time they signed the warrant.

Its a sign of respect and courtesy and the judge will normally let them leave quickly.
