arrest

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

To arrest someone is to apprehend that person, perhaps forcibly, to bring him or her to answer criminal charges, or to prevent a BreachOfThePeace. `Arrest' is a morally neutral term; a person who is deprived of his liberty is arrested, whether for good reasons or bad. That is to say, one can argue that a person apprehended was arrested lawfully, but it is incorrect to claim that he was never arrested. For more information, see the articles on `power of arrest' see: PowerOfArrest. and `arrest procedure' (see: ArrestProcedure).
