Define arrest and discuss the legal requirements of a legal arrest

What will be an ideal response?


• Arrest can be defined in a number of ways including: 1) the official interaction between a peace officer and a suspected lawbreaker when the suspect is captured and delivered before the court; 2) the simple restriction of one's freedom by an agent of the government. There may not be an announcement "You're under arrest" by the arresting officer, and Miranda warnings may not be given. Arrests are generally legal if supported by probable cause; i.e., facts and circumstances within the officer's knowledge are sufficient to warrant a prudent person to believe a suspect has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. However, under certain circumstances an arrest warrant is required.
