Ah, just read your post in the cops community, & the replies. I didn't realize that if you are being questioned, that it *is* an arrest.
Presumably if the person refused to voluntarily give their fingerprints, and they do have enough probable cause to obtain a warrant, and the person is then compelled to give fingerprints, they are considered to be under arrest while doing so.
