When is an arrest warrant served?
(Answer is applicable to the USA only): A warrantless arrest is never served. A warrantless arrest is performed. Following the warrantless arrest, the arresting individual (typically) or authority is required (usually) to provide the courts with a warrantless arrest affidavit wherein the person making the arrest articulates the probable cause for the arrest, which then is submitted to a judge for review. The arrested person will already be in jail or otherwise in custody (and possibly even bonded out), before the signed warrantless arrest affidavit becomes available to the arrested person.

What is the fundamental difference between warrantless arrest for a felony verses misdemeanor?
In the manner of the way the actual arrest goes down, very little. The one major difference between arresting for a felony versus arresting for a misdemeanor, is that for a warrantless arrest of a misdemeanant the officer must have atually witnessed the misdmeanor offense take place in order to make the arrest. The only exception to this would be (in jurisdictions that have such offenses) there are certain so-called "Probable Cause Misdemeanors" for which an arrest can be made even if the officer didn't observe them take place.

What is doctrine of warrantless arrest?
The doctrine of warrantless arrest allows law enforcement officers to arrest an individual without a warrant under specific circumstances, such as when a crime is committed in their presence or when there is probable cause to believe that a suspect has committed a felony. This doctrine is grounded in the need for immediate action to prevent the escape of suspects or the destruction of evidence. However, the legality of such arrests is subject to judicial scrutiny to ensure compliance with constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. The specific guidelines and limitations can vary by jurisdiction.
When can there be a warrantless arrest and seizure?
A warrantless arrest and seizure can occur under specific circumstances, such as when law enforcement officers have probable cause to believe that a crime is being committed or has been committed in their presence. Additionally, if there are exigent circumstances—such as imminent danger to life, the risk of evidence being destroyed, or the escape of a suspect—officers may act without a warrant. In some cases, warrantless arrests may also be justified during a lawful stop or search, particularly when the suspect poses an immediate threat. However, these actions must still comply with constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Based on the observation of an automobile driving recklessly, a policeman can stop the vehicle and if the officer smells alcohol on the driver, he or she may ask the driver to step out of the car and: 1. Ask the driver to take a portable breath testing analyzer; 2. Ask the driver to walk a straight line. If the breath test device is unavailable and/or the driver refuses to take it and/or refuses to walk a straight line. The officer can read the driver his or her rights and make an arrest.
