The law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6am, a woman has
the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest
warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a
woman can be arrested between 6pm and 6 am, ONLY if she is arrested by
a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is
arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was
on duty at the time of arrest.
It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use
remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!
