arrest without a warrant

A quick definition of arrest without a warrant:

Arrest without a warrant means taking someone into custody without a written order from a judge. This can happen if a police officer has a good reason to believe that the person has committed a serious crime or if they witness the person committing a crime. It is important for the police to have a valid reason for making an arrest without a warrant, otherwise it can be considered unlawful.

A more thorough explanation:

Arrest without a warrant is when a person is taken into custody by law enforcement without a warrant. This can happen if the police have probable cause to believe that the person has committed a crime or if the arrest is made in response to a criminal charge.

Examples of arrest without a warrant include:

  • A police officer sees someone breaking into a car and immediately arrests them.
  • A person is suspected of committing a crime and the police arrest them without a warrant based on evidence they have gathered.
  • A private citizen makes a citizen's arrest of someone they witnessed committing a crime.

These examples illustrate how an arrest can be made without a warrant if there is probable cause or if a crime has been committed in the presence of law enforcement or a private citizen.
