If you happen to be in the vicinity of an arrest situation there is no prohibition against watching it. However, don't get too close or attempt to interfere in any way, physically or verbally. You can cause a safety hazard to the officer, suspect, yourself, and those around you.

There are other ways you can watch as well. Shows such as COPS or even the news broadcasts arrest all the time. You can go on YouTube and find several videos. If you want to view in person, you can even go down to your local police department and request a ride-along. Many departments will arrange for you to ride with an officer for their shift. You will not be able to participate in the situations, but you can observe. If it is an unsafe scenario, the officer will likely tell you to stay in the car.
