Did you know that New Yorkers can not be arrested unless the police have enough evidence, or what is also known as “probably cause” ? If an arrest is not made at the scene of an incident and a person is later identified as a possible suspect, then the police will determine whether probable cause exists for an arrest. If the police determine that probable cause exists, then a police report is generated for the arrest of the suspect. This time period is the initial start of the Pre Arrest Case (PAC).
