Peatamisele

Peatamisele is an Estonian term used primarily in formal language to denote the act or process of detaining someone. It is formed from the noun peatamine, which means detention, stopping, or arrest, with the allative case ending -le, indicating direction toward detention. The expression is commonly found in legal and administrative texts to describe actions or measures aimed at bringing a person into detention or directing efforts toward such detention.

In legal context, peatamisele refers to the broad concept of taking a person into temporary custody or restricting liberty as a precautionary measure within criminal proceedings. It encompasses the purposes of preventing flight, protecting evidence, or ensuring the person’s appearance for further proceedings. The exact scope and procedures associated with detention are defined by applicable laws and codes, and the term is used in combination with descriptive phrases to specify the context, duration, and conditions of the measure.

Peatamine as a concept is distinct from related terms such as arrest or pre-trial detention, which are specific procedural steps with their own legal requirements and safeguards. The terminology and rules governing peatamisele are interpreted within the framework of Estonian criminal procedure and administrative law, and they are subject to judicial oversight to protect the rights of individuals.
