Identify the characteristics of a full custodial arrest, and contrast it with a stop

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

A full custodial arrest (one that lasts for a substantial period of time) is usually accompanied by a trip to a police station or to jail and must be based on probable cause. Secondly, the duration of a full custodial arrest can last from several hours to a few days. The location of full custodial arrest begins on the street or in other public or private places, but usually results in removal to a police station. Besides being removed to a police station, the arrested person usually also suffers other invasions of privacy., including being fingerprinted, booked, photographed, interrogated, and possibly subjected to some identification procedures.

Full custodial arrests differ from stops in two important respects. The first is duration. Stops are measured in minutes; full custodial arrests can last hours and sometimes even days. The second respect in which the two differ is location. Stops begin and end on the streets and in other public places. Arrested people are taken to the isolated and intimidating surroundings of local police departments or jails.

Not all arrests are equally invasive. Full custodial arrests are the most invasive of all arrests, but less invasive seizures are also arrests. An arrest begins when a stop ends and the individual is still detained, and continues through a full custodial arrest, where the person is usually placed into a squad car, taken into a station house, subjected to a search, photographed, booked and fingerprinted, interrogated, and ultimately locked up for a substantial period of time.
