Section 192A.055 — IMPOSITION OF PRETRIAL RESTRAINT.
Subdivision 1. Definition. "Pretrial restraint" means any restraint on a person's liberty which is imposed before and during disposition of offenses and may consist of conditions on liberty, restriction, or confinement.
For the purposes of this section:
(1) "conditions on liberty" are imposed by orders directing a person to do or refrain from doing specified acts;
(2) "restriction" is the restraint of a person by oral or written orders directing the person to remain within specified limits; and
(3) "confinement" is physical restraint, imposed by order of competent authority, depriving a person of freedom pending disposition of offenses.
Subd. 2. Enlisted members. An enlisted member may be ordered into pretrial restraint by any commissioned officer by an order, oral or written, delivered in person or through other persons subject to this code or through any person authorized by this code to apprehend persons. A commanding officer may authorize warrant officers or noncommissioned officers to order enlisted members of the authorizing officer's command or subject to the authorizing officer's authority into pretrial restraint.
Subd. 3. Commissioned officers or warrant officers. A commissioned officer or a warrant officer may be ordered apprehended or into arrest or confinement only by a commanding officer to whose authority the commissioned officer or warrant officer is subject, by an order, oral or written, delivered in person or by another commissioned officer. The authority to order such persons apprehended or into pretrial restraint may not be delegated.
Subd. 4. Probable cause. No person may be ordered apprehended or into pretrial restraint except for probable cause.
Subd. 5. Authority to secure alleged offenders. This section does not limit the authority of persons authorized to apprehend offenders to secure the custody of an alleged offender until proper authority may be notified.
