What are the differences between consensual encounters, detentions, and arrests?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: A consensual encounter occurs when the person is not under arrest, but is merely stopped for
questioning; the individual is free to leave. A detention is the stopping of a person for questioning, with
the concept that the person stopped and is not free to leave. Detention is based upon reasonable
suspicion. An arrest is where a person is taken into custody and based upon probable cause.
