I wonder why they did not take both the Mother and kid in. Did they learn while there through radio communications that the warrant/DTA had not been issued yet so they decided to just take the mother in? If that's the case, did they go ahead and arrest the mother to make a point or did she actually do something that warranted the arrest above just talking and demanding a warrant? Did the officers enter the house? If so, were they invited in or given permission to enter? I think a lot more information is needed for me to establish a solid opinion on this ordeal.Cedar Park Dad wrote:Thank you, looks like my questions has already been answered.

The law does require that any person arrested be brought before a magistrate where they are informed if the charges. I think there is a 3 day time frame.
With juveniles it's different. Juvs get DTAs (directive to apprehend) and not warrants. Little functional difference.
Once the officers say they have a warrant/DTA, and any person hinders/interferes with the apprehension of the wanted, they are subject to arrest for "Hinder Apprehension" (Tx PC 38.05). I don't know the details of the incident, but I have seen more than one parent go to jail in similiar circumstances.
Often times, roadside, many people claim that they have a right to see the warrant, or know what it's for, where its from, etc. In reality, once a peace officer makes the decision to place you under arrest, you are under arrest.
