5. Probably as much to protect him as anything else

I doubt he’ll be in the general population at the jail.

7. He was taken into custody pending charges,

not to protect him, although, he will be in protective custody to prevent his being injured or killed by other prisoners.

6. About time.

You John Sandford fans will understand when I say they should have sent that fuckin' Flowers.

8. 1 down 3 to go.

And they shouldn't take too much time arresting them. Like do it today.

9. No, the phrase used is "in custody", which does not necessarily include arrest

If you are stopped and asked for ID by a cop you are "in custody" but not necessarily arrested. I am curious why authorities are not saying "arrested" if that is the case.

10. That's not correct. He was, in fact, arrested.

If you are stopped and asked for an ID you are not "in custody" unless you are unable to leave - either because you have been told you are under arrest or you have been physically restrained. If Chauvin is in custody it means he's been arrested, has been read his Miranda rights and is being held somewhere.

11. Not to nitpick but custodial interference of any kind is "custody"

I see now that it has been clarified that an arrest was made, but anytime someone is asked for ID or pulled over it is implied that you are not free to leave and are in custody.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. If you are just asked for an ID you are legally free to leave.

You are not in custody. If you leave it might make the cops suspicious, but absent other circumstances (an investigation or probable cause to believe you committed a crime) they have no right to detain you just because you refuse to produce an ID.

[Jersey Devil]

13. Yes, in fact you are free to leave but

the courts have held in many cases that just stopping someone triggers their rights the same as if they were in custody officially, such as Miranda warning, etc. It is a fine distinction.

14. Under Minnesota law, which applies here, the test for custody is

whether a reasonable person under the circumstances would believe that he or she was in police custody of the degree associated with formal arrest. State v. Champion, 533 N.W.2d 40 (Minn. 1995). The totality of the circumstances must be considered in determining whether there was a formal arrest or restraints comparable to a formal arrest. State v. Rosse, 478 N.W.2d 482 (Minn. 1991).
