Explain a police officer's "right of arrest." Who can be arrested? Where, when and why?
What will be an ideal response?
The "right of arrest" is the police officer's power to make an arrest. The officer may arrest any
person when the police officer personally sees that person committing a crime. The arrest may
take place wherever he or she has the legal right to be; when an arrest warrant has been issued
against an individual; or when a police officer has probable cause, based on facts and
circumstances, that a person has committed or is about to commit a crime.
