Oh Shoonra, sometimes you really are too silly. You said nothing of arrest in the post I responded to and neither did I. Apparently you're don't understand the point; you can not be held without charges. I recall reading a court decision about a year ago that such a stop can not be more than an hour...perhaps even less. In any event, considerably less than either of your statements.
