I know that. So I asked for word to describe certain concepts.

You are the one who says I must use a different word. So I asked
you for a word to use when I write these posts. So far,
you have not provided one. Could this omission be due to
the fact that I am using the correct words?

Of course not. They can be remanded for trial if a criminal charge is brought
against them.

That is indeed the rule of law.

No - the police can object to bail where there's a public risk and a judge may
not be willing to grant bail anyway.

It's been discussed here and voted on in the UK Parliament. The Police have
powers to hold terrorist suspects for up to 30 days ( IIRC ) without charge
subject to regular judicial review. After that time they must indeed be released
or charged.

Any longer was rejected by Parliament.

I agree.
