From what i have heard, a police officer is also a peace officer. Peace officers have the power to make warrentless arrest if a crime is committed in their presence. It's really nation wide. If a cop or another peace officer with the powers of arrestsees someone killing somebody or breaking into a house or robbing someone, they are perfectly able to arrest that person on the spot. Even civilians have this power (citizens arrest}. To avoid alot of hassle, the officer generally will after the arrest call the local law enforcement, identify themselves as a peace officer, show the proper id {badge, id card and a weapon if they have one}and then make a statement.

No. Although it seems like you do - only a small percentage of the players actually are police officers!
Is there any form of arrest more loose than house arrest meaning that the person can not leave the city or the neighborhood?
It is quite common for the police to tell someone not to leave town, but that is not considered a form of arrest. It just means that the police think that they may need to talk to that person and they want him or her to remain easily available.Added: "House arrest" has nothing to do with an arrest by the police. The police cannot order you to remain in your home or on your property on their own authority."House Arrest" is more correctly described as "House Confinement." It is done by an order of the court and is a lenient method of confinement which restricts the individual to a certain small geographic area, monitored either by irregular visits of an investigator, or by some form of electronic device.To address the question: No, there is no more 'loose' confinement than this method.
Are police of a small town legally allowed to arrest you for curfew when you are in a car driven by an adult who is not your parent and you are under the age of 18?
Probably. Most curfew laws specify that you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian so kids can't hang out with older kids and be legal. A curfew law that allowed an 18 year old to run a gang of 16 year old kids would be pretty useless to everyone concerned. There are no 'small town' laws. Police officers carry the same authority regardless of which city employs them, and they are bound by the same regulations.
