I used to live in Hillborough County in the early to mid eighties, (ElGoya in Ybor City, and Rene's in Tampa were favorite hangouts of mine). When I was there, I never saw a "Police State" mentality exhibited by the folks in power, and being arraigned within minutes, or at most, hours, after being arrested, seems like delivering on the constitutional promise of a speedy trial, AS LONG AS the defendant's are afforded Legal council at their arraignment. That is FAR better than in some states where people can languish in a jail cell for weeks before seeing a Judge.
