Motion To Dismiss Guide
Summary
In Oklahoma, if a defendant is not brought before a magistrate without unnecessary delay, it may lead to a motion to dismiss. The Fourth Amendment requires a probable cause determination within 48 hours of arrest. If this is not met, it could be argued as a violation of rights. Both state and federal legal requirements can be combined in a single motion to strengthen the case. If successful, this could result in the suppression of evidence or dismissal of charges. Consider consulting a local attorney for guidance on drafting and filing the motion.Full Conversation

if a person has only been to arraignment would it be considered he has not been brought to a judge

An arraignment is when a defendant is formally charged and brought before a judge, so if a person has been arraigned, they have indeed been brought before a judge.
Is there anything specific you need to know about the arraignment process or subsequent steps in your case?

Is there anything specific you need to know about the arraignment process or subsequent steps in your case?
what about only having arraignments under this The Fourth Amendment requires persons arrested without a warrant to be promptly brought before a neutral magistrate for a judicial determination of probable cause . There is no mandated time frame for the prompt judicial determination. Promptness merely requires the judicial determination to be made without unreasonable delay. A judicial determination made within * hours after the arrest is presumably prompt, unless the person under arrest demonstrates unreasonable delay. If the determination is not made within * hours, the government bears the burden to demonstrate extraordinary circumstances to justify the delay.
Case Rating: *
The Fourth Amendment's requirement for a judicial determination of probable cause within * hours is a crucial aspect of ensuring fairness in the judicial process. If a person is only arraigned and not given a probable cause determination within that timeframe, it could potentially be argued as a violation.
