At common law police had the right to make a warrantless arrest if they observed someone in the commission of a misdemeanor?
It may have originated in 'common law' HOWEVER - the police still DO have the power to make an arrest in the case of a misdemeanor being committed in their presence. ----------------------- well a police may have much athority but if they tell you to stop your vehicle they cant arrest you because it isa state law that an officer may not arrest you without a reseanoble explenation
If a police department agrees to having you turn yourself in after a warrant being issued do they have the right to go to your work and arrest you if it has only been twenty four hours?
A warrant gives the police the right to arrest you at any time - that's what a warrant is. So it does not matter if you do or don't turn yourself in, the police have the right to arrest you if they have a warrant.
Are the police right to arrest someone who has drugs?
It sounds like you're asking an opinion question. In my opinion, yes. If a person is caught with illegal drugs, yes, a police officer should arrest the person.
Can a lawyer invoke right to counsel for a person of interest prior to an arrest?
Yes. Whenever being questioned by the police as a suspect, you still have the right to a lawyer before they make a formal arrest.
Does the police have the right to tell you what to do on your own property?
The police have the duty to enforce the laws. If a particular law specifies what you may or may not do on your own property, then yes, the police have the right to tell you not to break that law, and arrest you if you do so.
When is a person under arrest?
A person is "under arrest" when a police officer charges them with a crime and chooses to take them to the police station to be processed for it. For example, if someone commits a crime, they are technically under arrest when a police officer witnesses the crime or has a warrant for the arrest and tells the criminal "You are under arrest." Typical procedure after this is to put handcuffs on the criminal and read them their Miranda rights (you have the right to remain silent etc). Handcuffs alone do not mean arrest, but i'm pretty sure its illegal for a police officer to handcuff someone without grounds to arrest them. As a side note, the person doing the arrest does not have to be a sworn in police officer. In Citizen's arrest cases, anyone with arresting powers like a bounty hunter can also place someone under arrest.
Does a arrest have to occur before you can resist police?
Fleeing an open warrant "flight to avoid prosecution" is similar to arrest resistance but "resisting arrest" occurs as you use force to avoid being placed under custody.Added: You NEVER have a lawful/legal "right" to "resist" police in the performance of their duty. You must submit, and if it subsequently turns out they had no lawful right to arrest you then you can bring court action against them for damages.
Is it legal to arrest on private road?
A police officer can make an arrest in any location that he has a lawful right to be. You should contact a local attorney with information on your specific problem.
How do you know when you are under arrest?
THINK. The police or sherrif will tell you - right before they put the handcuffs on and take you to jail.
Do cops have the right to slam you on the ground?
If the suspect is resisting arrest then it is perfectly reasonable for police to respond by throwing him to the ground.
Do police have the right to harm you if you resist arrest?
