Charlie Dickson · Answer 1

d. Gerstein hearing

Explanation:

Gerstein hearing is a process of hearing in which a court may summon an individual over criminal charges based on probable cause. The procedure of charging an individual with a criminal suit through a reasonable belief that the arrested individual is a potential criminal is called probable cause. An individual may be summoned by a court for a Gerstein hearing even without a warrant to determine whether there was a probable cause to arrest his/her.
