When is an arrest warrant required and to what requirements does it need to conform?

What will be an ideal response?


An arrest made in a public place does not require an arrest warrant, but does require probable cause; an arrest made in a private place usually requires a warrant, unless special circumstances exist. Assuming that an arrest warrant is required, it must conform to certain requirements. First, a neutral and detached magistrate must authorize the warrant. Second, a showing of probable cause must be made. Finally, the warrant should be sufficiently particular so as to minimize the possibility of arresting the wrong person.
