    Arrest: American.
    http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/arrest
    An arrest may occur (1) by the touching or putting hands on the arrestee; (2) by any act that indicates an intention to take the arrestee into custody and that subjects the arrestee to the actual control and will of the person making the arrest; or (3) by the consent of the person to be arrested. There is no arrest where there is no restraint, and the restraint must be under real or pretended legal authority. However, the detention of a person need not be accompanied by formal words of arrest or a station house booking to constitute an arrest.

    Pretty large net with arrest as requirement.

    In Australia you are legally arrested if you are stopped by police for any reason.

    An arrest consists of the seizure or the touching of a person's body with a view to his or her restraint. Words may amount to an arrest if they are calculated to bring to the person’s notice and do bring to the person’s notice that he or she is under a compulsion to accompany the police officer and he or she submits to the arrest.

    CAPTAIN: Okay. (puts phone down) Rimmer, make this quick.
    RIMMER: Sir, I wish to place on record that third technician Lister,
        David--
    CAPTAIN: , Rimmer.
    RIMMER: --smuggled aboard the mining vessel Red Dwarf a consignment of a
        hallucinogenic fungi "Titan Mushrooms," more popularly known to the
        Space Beatnik community as "Freaky Fungus."
    CAPTAIN: Is this true?
    LISTER: Erm, sort of.
    RIMMER: And on the morning of Febuary the 26th, at 0800 hrs, did engage
        in conversation with second technician Rimmer, Arnold J.--
    CAPTAIN: For crying out loud, Rimmer!
    RIMMER: --the outcome of which was a proposal by the aforementioned
        Lister to the aforementioned Rimmer to cook him breakfast.
    CAPTAIN: Okay, I'm getting the picture.
    RIMMER: Breakfast comprised of two eggs, three rashers of bacon, a
        grilled tomato, two sausages, a small portion of fried potatoes... and
        a large quantity of _mushrooms_. Having consumed this repast, second
        technician Rimmer, Arnold J. experienced what can only be described as
        a voyage to trip-out city. To whit, a major hallucinogenic fit.
    CAPTAIN: Lister, is this true?
    LISTER: No, sir. I'm sure it was only one egg.
    RIMMER: The aforementioned Rimmer, to whit, me, then attended inspection
        parade. He was totally naked except for a pair of mock-leather driving
        gloves and some blue swimming goggles. Under the influence of this
        psychadelic breakfast he went on to attack two senior officers,
        believing them to be giraffes who were armed and dangerous.
    CAPTAIN: You'd better have a good reason for this, Lister.
    LISTER: I have, sir.
    CAPTAIN: Why'd you do it?
    LISTER: I thought it'd be a laugh.
    CAPTAIN: Right. Two weeks PD, Lister. Dismissed.
    RIMMER: With respect, sir, the penalty for a crime of this nature is
        fifteen years imprisonment.
    LISTER:
    CAPTAIN: Rimmer,
    RIMMER: Two weeks?
    CAPTAIN: That's enough.
    RIMMER: Two smegging weeks?
    CAPTAIN: I said, that is enough!

    It's horrendous to play in that condition. The rules are not applied equally either. It depends on which particular censor you get. Studios can of course contest the rating to a higher board which seems to be a little better.
