      That’s different than being arrested. Police can hold you for like 24 hours without charging you with anything. Once your officially charged and arrested it’s in the system and goes at the speed of the system.

        The opposite of arresting someone is to release them, and police can do it.

        Charging someone with a crime is a separate process done by the prosecutor’s office. They can also drop charges.
