So Jarod since you say Padillila was arrested he should have an arrest record correct?
An arrest is a formal act by law enforcement where a person is taken into custody, typically with the intention of charging them with a crime. It requires
probable cause, meaning sufficient evidence to believe a crime has been committed. An arrest triggers the start of formal legal proceedings and may involve physical restraint, being taken to a police station for booking, and potentially being held in jail.
Detention, on the other hand, is a temporary restriction of a person's freedom by law enforcement, usually for the purpose of investigation or questioning. It requires only
reasonable suspicion, which is a lower standard than probable cause. Detention is generally shorter in duration than an arrest and may not involve physical restraint or being taken into custody. A detention may lead to further investigation, but it doesn't automatically mean an arrest or charges will be filed.
