    I think if you are under arrest, the officer has to tell you that you are now under arrest, handcuffs you, and then reads you your rights if he intends to ask you questions.

    I was told that in California, the officer has to handcuff you if he arrests you.

    Anyone?

    Default Definition of Arrest

    Whether or not you are "arrested" is a bit more nebulous - in general terms, the question is whether a reasonable person would feel free to decline the officers' requests or otherwise terminate the encounter (i.e., leave).

    However, the police can still temporarily detain people in contexts short of arrest. A "Terry Stop", an investigatory "stop and frisk" where the police temporarily detain somebody on the basis of a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, is not an "arrest" even though the person is temporarily detained. Typically a traffic stop is not an arrest, although I understand that at least one state regards the period between the time the officer decides to issue the ticket and the time the ticket is issued and the driver is released to be a period of arrest.

    So I've been thinking about this thing since it happened. It's all I can think about. And I think this is my plan. I'm going to talk to my manager at work today, and some advice on him. If he think's it's best to give the court or the store his address, I will do so. I am really worried about my father finding out. But if he does, I suppose I'll accept what ever he has to dish out. I dont know if what I did was a cry for help, because it seems like he doesnt care anymore. I've done so many things, and he's never tried to help, never tried to talk to me about it. I've been in sever depression for a long time now, "quoting my consunler" on that one. I'm a really bad cutter, and I'm upset almost 99.9% of the time. I always expect the worst in things, so I dont think this is any different. Maybe it would be best if my dad found the letter before me. Maybe he needs to realize I have some problems. But then again, I dont want everything taken away from me, for one stupid mistake. so please if you have anymore adive I'd appreciate hearing it. Thank You all very much. You've helped me alot.

    My advice..stop cutting, you're going to seriously regret it in 10 years when you end up with a ton of hideous scars on your arm.

    In a couple of years, you wont even remember this whole thing, but you'll always have your scars.
