Arrest and detention (10-20 minutes)
The police can arrest you if:
- they have a warrant for your arrest or are aware that a warrant for your arrest is outstanding, or
- they have "reasonable grounds to believe" that you have committed an indictable offence.
Everyone has the right on arrest or detention:
- to be informed promptly of the reasons for their arrest;
- to retain and instruct a lawyer without delay and to be informed of that right; and
- to have the validity of the detention determined by way of habeas corpus and to be released if the detention is not lawful.
