This 48-hour rule means that within two days, you must either be charged with a crime or let go. However, there are a few exceptions that may allow the police to hold you for more than 48 hours, such as if youre arrested on a warrant from another county or if a judge grants a special extension.
Police and judges use probable cause to determine if there is enough reason to believe that: A person has committed a crime. Evidence of a crime is present in a specific location. There are facts that would make a reasonable person think its a crime has occurred or that evidence will be found.
Examples of a Lack of Probable Cause Unreasonable Searches and Seizures: If a police officer searches without a warrant or probable cause, any evidence found during that search may be suppressed.
If the judge concludes there is probable cause to believe the crime was committed by the defendant, a trial will soon be scheduled. However, if the judge does not believe the evidence establishes probable cause that the defendant committed the offence, they will dismiss the charges.
For example, a police officer finding drugs in plain sight in a persons car could be considered sufficient probable cause for an arrest. Another example might be an officer hearing a gunshot coming from a house and then seeing someone running out with a weapon, which could warrant entering the house without a warrant.
