What happens when an officer makes an arrest without just cause?
An example of a wrongful arrest would be a retail employee or owner holding a customer against their wil with only probable cause, and the police arresting them with only their word against the customer's. People involved in a wrongful arrest case may file a lawsuit against the arresting officer, the police department, or township for damages-emotional or mental distress and embarrassment
How are warrant arrest and probable cause arrest alike and different?
A arrest warrant is an order by a judge, to the police, to bring a person before the court to answer for criminal charges. Arrest warrants (with some exceptions, such as Ramey warrants in California) are only issued after the judge has reviewed a probable cause affidavit that describes the probable cause for the arrest and agrees that the arrest is reasonable. In a probable cause arrest, also known as an "on view" arrest, the arresting officer makes the decision to arrest the person on the spot. The decision will later be reviewed by the officer's supervisor(s) and by the prosecutors office before criminal charges are actually filed and the defendant is arraigned.
How well do police officer meet the criteria of probable cause before taking action with regard to criminal activity?
The wording of the question makes no sense. First off, an officer only needs to have reasonable suspicion that a criminal acltiivity MAY be taking place in order to have the authority to look into it.After looking into the activity and finding a person, or persons, committing a crime or who he has PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE MAY have committed a crime he can then make an arrest.
How does probable cause impact police officers and police agencies?
Probable cause is the standard of evidence for charging someone with a criminal offense (for the purpose of this discussion, this includes traffic offenses, which are not necessarily criminal). It is a standard by which a "reasonable person" would believe a crime was being, had been, or was about to be committed, and that the person charged was responsible.Probable cause is a limit on police power. An officer cannot detain or arrest someone just because they want to. The officer has to have reasonable suspicion (a level of evidence less than probable cause) to stop or detain someone, and probable cause to charge or arrest them.If an officer makes an arrest without probable cause, he can be held criminally and civilly liable for his actions. His employer or "agency" usually has to indemnify (pay for the costs of defending him and for most money damages, if awarded) him, so an officer who acts outside of his authority also puts his employer at risk. For this reason, agencies have an incentive to train their officers in proper use of their police powers and procedures under the law. The agencies also have a responsibility to discipline or discharge officers who engage in misconduct, as the misconduct exposes the agencies to liability.Probable cause is what allows police officers to legally search and seize property and make legal arrests without violating the Constitutional Rights of American citizens.

How is cardiopulmonary bypass instituted?
Cardiopulmonary bypass can be instituted with or without cardioplegic arrest. Cardioplegic arrest requires cardiopulmonary bypass. The use of cardioplegic arrest makes this a non-beating heart procedure, but it is still considered MIDCAB.
Is probable cause necessary for an arrest under any circumstance?
Anytime I see the word "Any" it's hard to give you a perfect answer. 99.9% of the time, you either need to witness the crime, have probable cause (PC) or need a warrant to make an arrest. I'm sure there is a situation out that that might not fall into one other those but a cop still makes the arrest, I don't know. One thing to keep in mind is that the PC comes from the officer, not the person being arrested. I have had people tell me I didn't have PC to arrest them, but the reality is I did and I'm the one that has to articulate MY PC not what joe blow thinks is PC.
What should a Probation Officer do If a client makes threats toward him?
If the PO is not a sworn law enforcement officer themselves; report it to the police, or the court which supervises the probation, or swear out a warrant for the probationers arrest.

Who makes the detrmination that probable cause exists before conducting a warrentless search of vehicles?
The officer that makes the decision and conducts the search must be able to justify the search, by articulating his reason for doing so. Therefore, the searching officer makes the determination that the necessary cause exists to justify the search. If his on-the-scene determination is not sufficient or ruled invalid, the evidence found will be ruled inadmissable, and the case might be lost.
