Deberes de los funcionarios en casos de arresto

Explicación Simple

Cuando alguien es arrestado, los policías tienen que enviar información sobre esa persona en 72 horas. Esto incluye huellas dactilares y datos que ayudan a identificar al arrestado.

Es como cuando un maestro tiene que registrar la asistencia de los estudiantes en clase. Si un niño llega tarde, el maestro debe anotar su nombre y la razón de su tardanza para llevar un buen control.
