Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
If someone is not going to be charged with anything, detectives are not likely to hold the subject for any period of time. States vary on how long an officer has to charge someone (generally 24 or 48 hours).

It depends on the circumstances. For example, if police received a 911 call from a building and the doorman tried to block the officers' entry, he would be arrested for obstruction.
Share Answer: 
Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction. Also, criminals rarely cooperate.
Share Answer: 
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

It depends on the circumstances. Detectives go through a lot of training to learn how to interview people and how to investigate homicides. It is far to in-depth of a question for me to answer.

I'm not sure what you are asking when you say "what's the policy." Federal law establishes how the government controls immigration. The executive branch (the president and his administration) is responsible for enforcement of the law.
You have several problems going on right now. Among them are:
1. Few presidents of either party have taken a serious stab at securing our borders.
2. The current president, through design or sheer foolishness, is making no serious effort to enforce the laws on the books.
3. A 2008 law significantly expanded the "rights" of an illegal alien OTMs under a certain age to stay in the US. Look at the numbers of under age illegal OTMs and you will see the numbers have skyrocketed every year since.
4. Children and others, once they make it into the country, are being temporarily held in detainment camps. These camps have inhumane conditions, and the executive branch is keeping the press, clergy, charities and even members of Congress from entering them.
5. Mexican drug cartels are the primary human traffickers along the border. They routinely fire on Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement offcers with small arms, up to and including .50 caliber machine guns. Some of these guns were trafficked to the cartels through a ATF program called Fast & Furious, which has resulted in the deaths of dozens (if not hundreds) of foreign nationals, and at least one Border Patrol agent.
6. The executive branch is shipping illegal immigrants to various parts of the nation and refuses to tell the press or Congress where, claiming the rights to privacy of the illegal immigrants.
7. Many local cities and counties are required to accept the illegal immigrants due to a clause in block grant fundung provided by the federal government.
So, the situation with illegal immigration has been a long time in the making. I don't care if you are a supporter of Bush, Clinton or Obama - none of them have bothered to secure our borders.
