Editing Arrest warrant (section)

==Germany==
Detaining a person is only allowed under certain conditions defined by the [[Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany]] ({{langx|de|Grundgesetz für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland}}). In article 104 (Deprivation of liberty), the fundamental law determines that
only a ''Haftrichter'' ("arrest judge") may order confinement that exceeds 48 hours. The former is called ''vorläufige Festnahme'' ("provisional confinement"), the latter is named ''Haftbefehl'' ("order of arrest"). Arrest warrants serve the enforcement of the proper expiry for instance in the [[Code of Criminal Procedure]], but also in the civil procedure law and in the administrative law and the special administrative procedures after the Tax Code, the Finance Court order or the social court law.
