Definition of lawful arrest

Definition: A lawful arrest is the taking of a person into legal custody either under a valid warrant or on probable cause that the person has committed a crime.

Examples:

  • An officer arrests a suspect who has a warrant out for their arrest.
  • An officer arrests a suspect who they have probable cause to believe committed a crime.

These examples illustrate that a lawful arrest can occur either with a warrant or without one, as long as there is probable cause that the person has committed a crime.

It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.

Simple Definition

A lawful arrest is when a police officer or other legal authority takes someone into custody because they have committed a crime or there is evidence that they have. This can happen with a warrant or if the officer has probable cause. It is different from an unlawful arrest, which happens when someone is taken into custody without a valid reason or without a warrant.
