BOOKING

Once you are arrested, you will be booked. During the booking procedure the police will ask you for basic information about yourself (such as your address and birth date), and fingerprint and photograph you. You may also be asked to participate in a line-up, give a handwriting sample or do similar things.

If you are detained but not booked within a reasonable period of time (usually several hours, or overnight) your attorney may go to a judge and obtain a writ of habeas corpus. A writ of habeas corpus is an order issued by the court instructing the police to bring you before the court so that a judge may decide if you are being lawfully held.
