Canadian law enforcement can only arrest someone if there is an active arrest warrant or a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. The arresting officers must identify themselves as law enforcement officers and state that they are putting the person under arrest. They must also tell people the charges against them and let them talk to a lawyer. Police can't question someone until they have a chance to talk to a lawyer, but they can search the person for evidence.

Answer for the USA: The writers of the constitution believed that rights of the individual were a "natural right", which mean that the right did not come from the state or government. Thus, if you read the bill of rights, it states that no law shall be passed to violate these rights, instead of granting these rights. This is a very important concept that was and still is unusual in the world. Thus, social justice would be based on maintaining the rights of the individual, which are the individual's natural rights.
