Court ruling allows 48 hour police detention in many cases
The Supreme Court by 5-4 vote upheld a 48 hour wait for a hearing after without-warrant arrests, with Justice Souter as the decisive vote. Dissenters argued hearings should be immediate or within 24 hours, citing the Fourth Amendment and prompt review standards. The decision follows a 1975 rule on probable cause and prompts reevaluation of detention timelines.
