Arabic to English Law/Patents Law (general) Bahrain legal text (Constitutional Court)

The context refers to procedures for arresting or detaining someone suspected of a felony or a misdemeanor, and the sentence, in a text by Bahrain's Constitutional Court, goes like this:
وهذا القبض وإن انطوى على مساس لحرية المتهم الا أنه لا ينتفي عنه طابع التأقيت باعتباره اجراء من اجراءات التحقيق

Does طابع التأقيت refer to prescription/statute of limitations, as تأقيت is similar to توقيت and may refer to timing/time? Thanks for any insights on this matter...
