What's the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor? >> The length of time of punishment. Misdemeanors are anything under a year as far as punishment is concerned, and anything a year or more punishment is a felony. >> What's the difference between being detained and being arrested? >> Detained means temporary, arrested means you go into the pokey. They only need reasonable articulable suspicion to detain you, but they need probable cause to actually arrest you. >> What is bail? >> An amount of money that the court assesses against you to make sure that you come to court lest you lose money. >> Do police actually say you have the right to remain silent? >> 100%. Every case where they make an arrest and they want to ask you questions, they have to say it. >> Will the government really give you a lawyer? >> 100%. The government will pay for a lawyer. The good news is that lawyer is free. The bad news is you don't get to pick the lawyer.
