What Is an Arrest?
Most people think they are arrested when a police officer says “You are under arrest” and puts you in the back of the police cruiser. Wrong.
An arrest is the act of legal authority taking actual physical custody of a citizen and is a restraint on that citizen’s liberty. An arrest has occurred when there is a submission to authority. It is a seizure of your person. You are not free to go.
Understand that an arrest is more than a stop. It is more than a detention. Interaction with the police is not an arrest, it is contact.
The constitutional rights that most people know of as Miranda rights don't become real until after you are placed under arrest.

My experience with Mr. Behr and his staff was nothing short of phenomenal. I hope to not ever need representation again. But In the case I do. J would absolutely use Mr. Behr. I would also fully recommend him to anyone I know in need of representation. Jeff

When I travel throughout the world for business I can honestly say that I feel extremely comfortable knowing I can pick up the phone for guidance and know Mr. Behr will consistently have my back with a positive answer on the other end. I attribute my success with my business by having this honorable man on my team. Thomas

He filed motion after motion until the judge finally dismissed my case. He even took it to another judge. The guy never stopped and let nothing stop him. He was all over the prosecutor and knew more law than the judge, it was super cool to watch the man work. He is the best lawyer in the county. Jose
