American here, how do you de - arrest someone? Over here once you're arrested only a judge // jury can say you're not guilty, the person that made the arrest, or the police don't have any say in that part of the criminal justice system.

Police can release without charge.

That's different than being arrested. Police can hold you for like 24 hours without charging you with anything. Once your officially charged and arrested it's in the system and goes at the speed of the system.

The opposite of arresting someone is to release them, and police can do it.

Charging someone with a crime is a separate process done by the prosecutor's office. They can also drop charges.
