Woman Arrest Law
The law which most of us are not aware of clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6pm and 6am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer & taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.

Police: Email on ‘women arrest’ a hoax
Sapa Published:May 15, 2009
Police urged the public on Friday to ignore a "hoax" e-mail about women’s rights when being arrested, with the subject line: "Woman Arrest Law".
Director Sally De Beer said the hoax e-mail was being circulated at an increasing rate in South Africa and could have far-reaching effects if not disputed.
"The e-mail claims that between 18:00 and 06:00, a woman under arrest has the right to refuse being arrested by a male police official, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her," she said in a statement.
The e-mail adds that a woman can only be arrested by a woman officer and be held at an "all women" police station.
De Beer said there was no provision for this in the country’s laws.
"A woman who attempts this can be charged with resisting arrest."
She said there were no "all women" police stations in South Africa.
She urged people not to pass on the e-mail.
"Responding to enquiries emanating from it wastes police time," she said.
