Definition of warrantless arrest
Definition: A warrantless arrest is an arrest made without a warrant, based onprobable cause of a felony, or for a misdemeanor committed in a police officer's presence.
Examples:
- If a police officer sees someone breaking into a car, they can make a warrantless arrest because they witnessed the misdemeanor crime.
- If a police officer has probable cause to believe that someone has committed a felony, they can make a warrantless arrest.
These examples illustrate that a warrantless arrest can be made when a crime is committed in the presence of a police officer or when there is probable cause to believe that a felony has been committed. It is important to note that a warrantless arrest must still be based on legal grounds and cannot be made arbitrarily.
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.

Simple Definition
A warrantless arrest is when a police officer arrests someone without having a warrant from a judge. This can happen if the officer has a good reason to believe that the person has committed a serious crime or if they see the person committing a crime. It is important for the officer to have a good reason, called probable cause, for the arrest. Sometimes, people can be arrested by regular people, called citizen's arrests, if they see someone committing a crime. However, it is important to remember that not all arrests without a warrant are legal, and people have the right to challenge the arrest in court if they believe it was not done properly.
