    So what is the specific action that legally defines when a suspect goes from “not under arrest” to “under arrest”? After all, there are specific rights and actions allowed under one but not the other. So how do the suspect and the police know and legally define when that change takes place?

    Could is possibly be… The reading of the Maranda Rights?
