    This may have changed since I learned about it in 2008, but my understanding is that they get around that rule by technically “releasing” you and “rearresting” you on suspicion of related crimes. The “rearrests” can stack.

      I think it has to be another crime, but that probably still can be done. I’m not a lawyer so I’m not sure, and I hope I never have occasion to find out.
