All laws are meant to be followed and abided by, therefore if a law is broken by someone the Police have the power to arrest you for doing so; as the Job of the Police is to do exactly that; (uphold the laws of the country being Policed).
In conclusion the answer to the question is that any law, if broken allows the police to lawfully arrest.
Some states have laws that allow police from a different city to arrest someone outside their jurisdiction. Additionally, in most cases, if a warrant has been issued the officer can arrest someone outside of their city.
Disorderly conduct laws and penalties
Many different national laws allow for what is formally known as "citizen's arrest". You can arrest someone and turn them over to the police, if circumstances warrant. Of course, if circumstances do not warrant and you decide to arrest someone anyway, you can be charged with false imprisonment or kidnapping. So do not abuse this law. Acceptable circumstances vary from country to country, and can include; - Directly witnessed the crime being committed, - Preventing the criminal from escaping before police can arrive, - Preventing the renewal or continuation of criminal damage, - Preventing the injury of either the public, or the criminal themself, - Some countries allow any citizen to arrest someone who has escaped from prison or custody.
It is the power to arrest the people breaking the laws. Driving when drunk is an offence under negligence and the police can arrest someone.
That depends on the laws of your country. Here in the UK, they can keep you for up to 48 hours - then they have to charge you or release you.
Perjury.
Police are a uniformed, civilian branch of the judiciary of a country charged with enforcing the laws of a country and empowered to make an arrest.
This is a very old problem; even in the Roman Empire, the question was famously asked, who guards the guardians? Since it is the police who enforce the laws, it is the police who have to arrest other police officers in the event of police brutality, and quite often, the police stick together. Police don't like to arrest their fellow police.
Yes, DA's (i.e.: prosecutors) are not immune from arrest if they violate any laws.
I don't think so... unless the state has gave the right to check for immigrant legal status to the police, if not. they can not do it. all they do is put you in jail, you have to pay your bond and that's it, some states only check your legal status if you do a big crime, like robbery or killing someone. in NC, police can arrest you and put you in jail if you have no driver license, but not deport you.... yetAnswerYES Police can arrest you under Immigration law, and NY traffic laws.
Of course! and they do when it is necessary! A police officer is subject to the same laws as anyone else, and a few extra laws in many states, and at the federal level, because of their role as a police officer. Since officers are the same as anyone else, the same requirements for arresting a police officer exist as arresting anyone else. For any arrest probable cause and an arrest authority has to exist. This is a simplified answer, but essentially, the answer is the same process, and protections that apply to the public apply to the police officer.
Yes, the police can arrest you for an accident they did not witness if they have sufficient evidence indicating that you were at fault. This evidence could include witness statements, video footage, or other documentation related to the incident. However, whether an arrest occurs depends on the circumstances, the severity of the accident, and applicable laws. In many cases, police may issue a citation or summons instead of an arrest.
