How do they fine you without arresting you? Tape a citation to your back as you walk past?

Most people's idea of arrest means taken into custody, rather than the actual meaning of stopped.

If they prevent you from walking away, you are arrested.

If a state trooper pulls you over in your car for speeding or throwing trash out of your car window to give you a ticket, are you now under arrest?
