If you are arrested your completed paperwork is passed into the court system faster generally but more to the point, you are given a court date upon charge which totally different to if you are reported for an offence which eventually requires your appearance at court.
If a police officer tells you you are under no obligation to remain with them, it means that you are under no obligation to remain with them - but beware pushing your luck on that one as they may decide to obligate you (if you understand what I am saying!!)

If the police decide you should appear from custody that would make the process quicker. It depends on the gravity of the offence. There may be a concern you will abscond, have given false particulars or done some other act in an attempt to defeat the ends of justice or will attempt to pervert the course of justice by interfering with witnesses etc. If the police tell you you are to be reported, they are submitting a case against you, within a reasonable time, to the prosecutor, CPS England, PF Scotland. They should have cautioned and charged you with a specific offence, best practice, though in actual fact the day you receive the summons is when the charge against you is made clear. I'm not clear what your last question is. I think it means that you are not under arrest, arrest being the removal of liberty to go about your lawful business.

Just because you are arrested on the spot of an actual crime being commited does not mean that you will go to court any faster.
However, if someone files a report about a crime that was commited, and there is a warrant issued for you, then it is likely that the case can be heard on the docket a little bit quicker than other situation. This is mainly because the investigators of the crime have already had time to put a case together, and possibly even the prosecuting attorney has had that luxury.
The main thing that determines the length of time before a trial is the attorneys. They will file for resettings all the time just to get thier stuff caught up to make a better case.

If you are arrested, your hearing should be sooner than someone who has a ticket. You should have the right to be heard soon...I believe the intent is to put the prosecution in the position of having to produce evidence for the court to minimize the chances of false arrest.
After the policeman leaves, he either reports you or he doesn't....it is up to the officer's discretion
If the officer tells you that you are under no obligation to remain with them, it usually means they are going to try and have you stay and confess to something of your own free will....if you want to stand up and walk away from the questioning, you can.

If you are arrested, you are being held from your daily living. These people have first priority in court because they can't live their lives. People who have been reported and recieve a court date can continue their daily lives and wait for the court to hear their case.
Also, it cost money to hold people when they are arrested. It costs no tax dollars to have you remain in the community (unless you re-offend).
The police man probably put it in your file that he went out and had to REPORT it, if it happens again it will show up as your second offense. (Not first).
And, if you are under no obligation to remain with the police, it sounds like you didn't do anything THAT harmful, and they have no right to detain/arrest you. He probably said he would "report" you to scare you off.

If you are in custody, you can be held over to attend court the following morning, even for a minor offence, this could be done for a number of reasons, it could be that you have failed to appear in the past, you have no fixed abode or it could be an offence that needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later, an offence that the police have zero tollerance on, domestic violence springs to mind, the court can impose restrictions and bail conditions on you which are more enforcable than normal police bail conditions as they will be seen on PNC (police national computer) police bail is not on there

Because of the over crowding in the jails, plus it is part of the laws of most states to get a speedy trial. He files a case report, and if they have enough on you, they will make you go to court. And from what you say in your last question, it means your free to go if you have nothing furthur to say.

all depends on what you've done. by them saying you've been reported and laft you, just means that whatever you did will go on record.
basically whatever you have done isnt worth arresting you but you might have to go to court.
and not always you go court sooner when arrested. its only if this offence you have done is a repeated offence.

Because if you are arrested it tends to be a worse offence. It means what it says... you can leave whenever you like!!!
