A more thorough explanation:

A suspect is a person who is believed to have committed a crime, but has not yet been found guilty. For example, if a store is robbed and the police have reason to believe that a certain person may have been involved, that person would be considered a suspect until they are either cleared of suspicion or found guilty.

According to the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution, a suspect has the right to be free from unlawful seizures, which includes arrests. This means that the police cannot simply arrest someone without a valid reason or warrant. However, if the police witness a crime being committed or have probable cause to believe that a suspect is about to commit a crime, they may make an arrest without a warrant.

Once a suspect is arrested, they are typically read their Miranda Rights, which include the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. If a suspect is being questioned by the police while in custody, they must be informed of these rights. If a suspect chooses to exercise their right to remain silent, the police cannot continue to question them without violating their rights.

It is important to note that being a suspect does not mean that a person is guilty of a crime. Until a suspect is found guilty in a court of law, they are innocent until proven guilty.
