Of course you are under arrest for littering. What do you think a ticket is?
I'm pretty sure that you and I have gone over this territory before, but I'll post the facts one more time:
- A ticket is an arrest.
- The ticket is the complaint in your criminal case.
- When you sign the ticket, you are signing a bond/making bail.
So, yes, when I ticket you for littering, you are

Why should I "word my post differently to include my suspicion of a drunk" when my post clearly indicates Reasonable Suspicion for Driving While Intoxicated?
This is one of the reasons why I suggest that everyone take some type of Criminal Justice classes, whether Police Academy, Citizens Police Academy or college courses -- way too many people rely on Urban Myths or SWAGs* when it comes to the facts of the law.
