Actually, to be honest, I RP as a detective and I did read a bit of lore regarding law enforcement.
From RPing with law enforcement characters and being there for investigations/arrests/ect, this is what I generally get from those RP's.
Some Common Aspects They All Share
PS: We should probably get an IC criminal database going. Would be nice to know who has broken the law ICly before and got caught.

Some Common Aspects They All Share
- All offender's have the right's to remain silent. Any information they say can be used against them in court.
- You are guilty till proven innocent. Often enough though, an arrest warrant cannot be issued without evidence that shows their guilt.
- Officer's of the law have the right to temporarily detain anybody they suspect of criminal act's. This however is only allowable if the suspect is being detained for everyone's safety or if the subject has a criminal history. Arrest without the probable cause clause can result in punishment towards the officer's. (temporary is subject to different definitions based on location)
