This would be really dependant on circumstances, no?
Either they arrest you, or they don't.
If they arrest you, they have like 48 hours to charge you. And arresting you early makes everything harder, and cops hate anything remotely difficult
But they can strongly suggest you have to stay, so most people do.
The only reason you're their is so they can gather enough evidence to charge you, even if you're innocent you might answer a leading question wrong.
There's just nothing you can say/do to change a cops mind, and if you're there, it's because they think you did it.
Rule #1: Don't talk to cops.
Don't talk to cops
Commenting just to draw more attention to this. It's a little long but well worth the watch.
Except to say you're invoking your right to remain silent. That's apparently very important as the cops and court conveniently forget if you don't say it.
I would also guess it depends highly on what jurisdiction is holding you.
