What will be an ideal response?


To satisfy the Fourth Amendment's reasonableness requirement, arrests require both probable cause before, and a reasonable execution during and after, the arrest. Probable cause requires that an officer, in light of training and experience, knows enough facts and circumstances to reasonably believe both that: (1) a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed; and (2) the person arrested has committed, is committing, or is about to commit the crime.
