Explained in plain English
What happens after an arrest?
After an arrest, a suspect is typically taken to a police station for booking, which involves recording their details and charges. They might then be interviewed and held until a court appearance, where a judge decides on bail. This process ensures legal rights are upheld and justice can be pursued.
