I don't think this was used often pre 9-11 but I'd be willing to bet it's used more often today.

Hi, I'm asking what law states that I am under arrest by default? I don't believe that is true. You have to break a law to be under arrest, and being under arrest requires telling you why you are under arrest, as well as the reading of your Miranda Rights...I believe. I also do not believe walking away from a supposed officer, who believes he has "engaged" you, is a crime. Perhaps it is...but I'd like to see the actual written law that states that. I just don't blindly believe these type of things without some better understanding.
