Subject: RE: BS: does one have to go to police station
Being arrested, in the UK anyway,is not the same as being charged with an offence. You are arrested as a way of compelling you to attend for questioning, not necessarily because there are reasons to think you are guilty of an offence.

It is common for people to be released without being charged, if there isn't sufficient evidence to put before a court.
