How long are you in jail for resisting arrest?

Yes. Usually those that are arrested already have a charge that will be made against them but if you are being detained for questioning by a police officer and you resist, fight, or run, then you can be arrested on the grounds that you resisted arrest. Arrest does just not mean that you have been taken "downtown" but that you have been detained. You can be arrested and not charged for a crime.

This depends on what type of house arrest you're under. House arrest administered by the local sheriffs office can't help yourself incarceration. In that particular case, the sheriffs office can enter to your house as many times as they need to, to ensure you are complying with their conditions. If your house arrest is a form of probation, then only your probation officer and their team may enter your house as often as they need to, to ensure you are complying with those conditions.


If a person who is under arrest begins making statements without any questioning do you think that those statements would be inadmissible?

How do they set up for house arrest?
