Study Notes

The Law of Arrest Without Warrant

The common law rule on arrests is that they generally cannot be made without a warrant.
The right to arrest a person without a warrant is an exception to this general rule.
A police officer can arrest without a warrant if there is a breach of the peace committed in their presence or if they have reasonable grounds to believe the person is a felon or about to commit a felony.
The objective of this law is to balance preserving liberty and preserving the peace.
Felonies, such as murder, rape, kidnapping, armed robbery, treason, and arson, are considered the most heinous crimes.
A breach of the peace is a well-known offense that can also result in arrest.
The liberty of citizens should not be subject to every ordinance or law enacted by legislative bodies.
The common law governs the law on arrest, and statutes can only be declaratory of the common law.
Officers who do not follow the common law on arrests are trespassers and guilty of false imprisonment.
Citizens can protect their liberty from unlawful encroachment by executive officers by initiating a legal suit.
The legal suit requires serving a summons and complaint to the defendant and the court.
The complaint should include allegations of false imprisonment, violation of constitutional provisions, and damages suffered by the plaintiff.
