Are there procedures that police officers use that are wrong according to their training (not "textbook" perfect) but are still used because they are more convenient and/or make more sense?

The glorification of violence is an unfortunate situation in modern society. It desensitizes and dehumanizes people. Marketing such games to children is abhorrent.

After a suspect is questioned by a Detective, how long is that suspect held for if they are not going to charge him with anything? Is it 24 Hours, 48 Hours? Do they release that suspect(s) right away after questioning?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd over 11 years ago

If someone is not going to be charged with anything, detectives are not likely to hold the subject for any period of time. States vary on how long an officer has to charge someone (generally 24 or 48 hours).
