The differences between a detention and an arrest are important because your rights change drastically from one to the other. In a detention, the police only need reasonable suspicion to stop an individual, and a reasonable person would feel as though they could leave in a short amount of time.

This time frame can vary a bit based on the circumstances, but the U.S. Supreme Court has held that 20 minutes or so is a reasonable time-frame for detaining someone. Reasonable suspicion means that there were objectively reasonable circumstances to suspect that the detained individual was involved in, or was about to be involved in a crime.

Not in my country, here if the police gets you, they just beat you until you confess everything.
