peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1expiration of the detention period Explanation: I'm not entirely sure whether the situation here is that of a suspect who can no longer be held beyond the statutory detention period or that of a statute of limitations (time-bar) on the offense committed. Given the asker's context, I assume it means the former, i.e., that the suspect can no longer be held beyond the detention period otherwise the police would have to formally charge them. |
