FAQ
REASONABLE SUSPICION: There is no useful defini- tion of reasonable suspicion. There is not even a nominal test, such as “fair probability.” This is because, as noted, reasonable suspicion is merely a variant of probable cause.
The Fourth Amendment protects your privacy generally, so an officer can't simply pull a driver over for no reason. Instead, the officer must be able to articulate specific facts that led him to suspect that a crime was taking place. These facts are frequently referred to as probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
They're required to give you a reason (possible/probable cause) to detain you, but the explanation they give you doesn't have to be the honest truth. Here's an example: There's a county deputy or two that likes to “fish” for drivers on state highway 42 near me. Two lanes, one each direction.
The “Type of Arrest” is used to indicate the type of apprehension at the time of initial contact with the arrestee. Allowable entries are: On-View Arrest (O) - taken into custody without a warrant or previous incident report.
Most states allow law enforcement officers to ask citizens questions without having an arrest warrant or probable cause. However, refusing to answer these questions could result in being detained by the authorities.
Probable cause, however, requires more concrete evidence indicating that a crime has been committed, which can justify an arrest, search, or warrant. Degree of Certainty: Reasonable suspicion requires lower certainty and relies mainly on the officer's subjective assessment and inference from the situation.

If evidence is obtained without a valid search warrant, and no exception to the warrant requirement applies, the evidence may be subject to the exclusionary rule. The exclusionary rule prevents illegally obtained evidence from being admitted in a court of law.
When making an arrest without a warrant, the officer shall inform the person to be arrested of his authority and the cause of the arrest, unless the person to be arrested is then engaged in the commission of an offense, or is pursued immediately after its commission or after an escape, or flees or forcibly resists ...
Hot pursuit: Officers can arrest and search individuals who are suspected of committing a felony. For the pursuit, officers can enter any property to search and seize evidence without warrants.

Before we begin, it should be noted that there are technically three types of arrests. If needed, you can arrest without a warrant or citizens arrest, as long as the above two circumstances exist.Walk up to any police officer and ask. The officer will likely ask for your identification. Drivers may try and evade the police because they have a warrant out for their arrest or are driving a stolen car. Yes. Call the sheriff's office. Their main dispatch center is 510–667–7721. If the place being secured is occupied when peace officers enter, they will need probable cause to arrest if they take the suspect away or keep the suspect. If police decide to cite or arrest someone it will happen after things have settled down. Unless they are doing a warrant sweep or the arresting officer wants to go looking for you, the police might never show up at your door.
