"detained for questioning" in Guthrie case?

35. Why would you conflate the ability to sue or the right to a remedy with "cannot be detained without arrest"

Cannot legally be detained except briefly without arrest is an accurate but different proposition. Yes, there are legal protections and people are often confused by inaccurate portrayals police procedurals in popular culture, but the force of those legal protections kick in after the fact. In your rush to provide a lesson in law you seem to have ignored realities that many have faced. Making up something to cover their asses is not a unique law enforcement event. Often people are happy just to be let go or accepting of a minor charge. As to the existence of remedies, not all of us are as comfortable going to court or as confident in the system as a criminal attorney. I think giving legal advice, teaching law, and discussing the real world effects of laws require different approaches, but maybe that’s just me.
