Clarifiction needed from MN authorites for "in custody"- does that mean "arrested"?

[Jersey Devil]

Whenever your freedom of movement is restricted you are "in custody", but it does not mean necessarily that you have been arrested. Stop and frisk, demand for ID, pulled over in you car, etc. are all instances of "custody". Why did the MN authorities say "in custody" if he in fact was "arrested"?

Don't want to seem overly suspicious, but my bullshit radar is detecting something that does not smell right.

5. He's been arrested and charged.

You are not considered to be in custody unless you are unable to leave. Normally this means that you are under arrest, with the usual notifications, or that you have been restrained pending formal arrest (Miranda warnings, etc.).

6. If a cop stops you for any reason, would a reasonable person feel free to leave?

It does not have to be explicitly stated that you are not free to leave for a "custody" situation to arise.

8. You are not in custody just because you've been stopped or questioned.

Most of us wouldn't run away just because a cop wants to ask questions or show your ID, but you're not legally in custody. You are not obligated to show your ID just because a cop asks for it.

9. If a cop stops you for any reason - to ask questions, request ID, etc. - you are being "detained."

"Detained" is not the same as "arrested." Once you comply with the officer's request for required information (as defined by law), you are free to go, unless he decides to arrest you.

10. Question,

who is the Judge doing the Arraignment ? Bail or no Bail?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Haven't heard.

The case hasn't turned up in MNCIS yet.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Interesting.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Not really. MNCIS usually takes at least a few days

to update itself. Might be worth keeping an eye on, though, as this develops. http://pa.courts.state.mn.us/default.aspx

14. Noticed the

autopsy report,underlying Heart issues. Friggin bastard will walk with Tom Kelly running this defense.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Doesn't matter if he had underlying heart trouble.

There's a saying in the law that you take your victim as you find him. I'm sure there are plenty of expert witnesses who would testify that the heart attack was brought about by the actions of the police; that having a knee on his neck for several minutes restricted his air supply and caused enough stress to cause heart failure in a guy with his underlying cardiac problems. Chauvin won't walk. Kelly isn't that good.

16. Not going to hold out hope for any Jail time.

Hennipen County Judicial System from my experience leaves a ton of questions.

[Demsrule86]

17. CNN said arrested.
