They can only hold you in jail for so long, after that they need to press charges or let you go. Big reasons to hold a person in jail is suspicion of danger or flight risk. A cop is (likely) neither of those and the active duty cops know this, something they wouldn't for a random civilian. (Now, if a random civilian was related to or tight with the cops on duty, they'd probably be able to swing the same leeway.) Even if they pressed charges, they're not required to hold the suspect in jail, they can be released on bail. Bail is not equal for every person, it's determined by a number of factors including the two mentioned above, employment status, community status, and more. Cops are not exempt from jail, but a cop has a better standing on pretty much all bail factors, so the likelihood of them staying in jail for a non-heinous crime are slim to none. Not sure why I'm explaining any of this to you since you're always hellbent on having the last word. At least try to make it more than two this time. --- My friends call me Vee.
