Legal terms: For traffic and criminal offenses

💬 [Acusado] can mean both "accused" and "defendant," depending on context. You'll see the same [participio]-looking form used as a noun in legal Spanish, like [detenido] for "detainee."

💬 [Evidencia] looks like English "evidence," but in legal Spanish people also often say [prueba] for a piece of evidence or proof. So [hay evidencia] and [hay pruebas] can both come up, with slightly different feel.

💬 [Arrestar] is the act of arresting, while [detener] often means to stop or detain someone. In police or legal contexts, Spanish may use either, so don't assume they match English one-for-one.
