Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Detention and investigative stop are often considered synonymous in legal contexts, referring to a temporary and limited seizure of an individual by police for investigation, which requires reasonable suspicion. Arrests require probable cause and are more formal, involving taking someone into custody. Encounters involve interactions with police that do not rise to the level of a seizure and do not require any level of suspicion, as individuals are free to leave. Thus, "detention" is not recognized as a separate category from an investigative stop.
