Last Answer on October 29, 2014

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

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).

Any misdemeanor offense can carry a penalty of three months. So, pretty much anything from driving with a suspended license to shoplifting to punching his wife.

I have a video message saved on my phone of a ex friend threatening to hurt me. If I go to the police to submit a report would my phone be taken away ?

Asked by girl22 about 11 years ago

The video is evidence. They will need to seize the phone at least long enough to take the video from the phone.
