If they enter his home, and there is no evidence of a crime, then what is the basis for the arrest?
One thing is to investigate the truth of a call, another is to act on it as if it's verbatim truth.

Usually swat teams break a lot of your shit, maybe kill a baby, and then leave without arresting you.

Don’t need to arrest the suspect if they’re dead taps forehead

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 29 points 7 months ago

Oh AND leave you with the bill

[-] Hugin@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Or toss a flash bang in the crib.

After breaking down the wrong door

Was he arrested? I don't see follow up. It only says he was handcuffed which would be standard until they know what's going on.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

OK, here it's the other way around, you don't normally handcuff somebody unless they are arrested.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 38 points 7 months ago

You get handcuffed as a precaution. You do not have to be arrested. You can het handcuffed on a traffic stop if the officer decides they have cause to search your car. Etc.

Some cops will go a step further and shoot you first; as a precaution, of course.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 31 points 7 months ago

Or your dog. Safety first!

Just because handcuffung is normal in the USA, that doesnt make it normal or sensible. No one gets cuffed in a normal traffic stop or house visit in the UK for example.

[-] tpihkal@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Being detained while an investigation is conducted is not being arrested.

[-] sugartits@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Factually inaccurate.

[-] freewheel@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

It's not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what's going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It's a safety measure.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
