A person arrested without warrant must be brought before a magistrate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a person is arrested without a warrant, they must be brought before a magistrate to determine probable cause for detention. This is required by the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. The other options (B, C, and D) are not accurate as a magistrate does not issue a post-arrest warrant, and the time frame for appearing before a magistrate can vary depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances of the case.
