If the police hear someone using drugs in another room can they arrest that person at the scene or do they have a specified time to take the person into custody?

If the police legally (search warrant, hot pursuit, etc.) enter a building or private residence and discover any illegal substances or illegal acts taking place they can immediately arrest those persons involved. If the search or entrance of the building/residence is questionable the issue of the validity of the arrest and/or confiscation of items is decided by a judge.

This is a very touchy subject. The best answer is no. Volunteer firefighters hold no legal ability to arrest someone and keep them in custody, but in some locations they can remove you and keep you away from an area.

If they have a reason to, they can arrest you or ask you to leave.
