I did not say forever. I said there are not set time limits. There is a very big difference. The circumstances of the detention dictate if the detention stays legal or not. Those circumstances can include the severity of the suspected offense, if the subject is moved from the point that the detention began, and many others. What is being discussed is a investigative detention not an arrest. There is a point that an investigative detention can become an arrest even if the law enforcement officer did not intend it to become an arrest. The two following links do a pretty good job of explaining the concept.
