I've read the discussion page: Sorry - you'll have to collect your own research papers. As a general rule, and quick overview - - if the wanted person is abroad and their whereabouts is known, and the offense falls under the extradition treaties existing between both countries, the apprehension is initially attempted through diplomatic channels (actually, usually the US Embassy's FBI Liaison Officer makes the initial contact with the individual). If that doesn't work, and/or the persons's whereabouts is unknown, and the crime is serious enough, INTERPOL can be brought into the picture and the matter turned over the international police community who will locate and apprehend the subject. Once apprehended, the subject becomes subject to the provisions of the extradition treaty between the two countries. On the other hand - if a foreigner is arrested on US soil, the only thing different in their handling from that of a US citizen, is that the foreigner must be given the opportunity to communicate with their Embassy or Consulate. Other than that, their case is handled just like any other.

When is a person under arrest?

A person is "under arrest" when a police officer charges them with a crime and chooses to take them to the police station to be processed for it. For example, if someone commits a crime, they are technically under arrest when a police officer witnesses the crime or has a warrant for the arrest and tells the criminal "You are under arrest." Typical procedure after this is to put handcuffs on the criminal and read them their Miranda rights (you have the right to remain silent etc). Handcuffs alone do not mean arrest, but i'm pretty sure its illegal for a police officer to handcuff someone without grounds to arrest them. As a side note, the person doing the arrest does not have to be a sworn in police officer. In Citizen's arrest cases, anyone with arresting powers like a bounty hunter can also place someone under arrest.

Police do not necessarily need a warrant to arrest someone. Basically an arrest means that they have strong reason to believe that someone has broken the law.
