Okay, I guess that's right...in other countries you can be arrested without being charged. Isn't that what happened in Aruba? That one guy and even his father were arrested but never charged. I think the time ran out for the prosecution and even the boy has been let go.
As for the U.S. what was described in Missouri is different. There's a big difference between being detained and being arrested.
Back to Malaysia, I thought their system of justice was based on English law. Adster, you are in the UK...can a person be arrested without being charged....I mean, arrested, not just detained for a little while.
