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.

(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.
According to John Yoo, a warrantless search or seizure is reasonable if it is based on the President's inherent constitutional authority during times of war or national emergency. Yoo argued that the Fourth Amendment does not apply in these circumstances, allowing for warrantless actions in order to protect national security.

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.
The court allows the government to conduct a warrant-less search and seizure.
