I propose that this page is redirected to arrest, as "arrest without warrant" is just a legal term, and nothing here would not be covered in arrest. ninety:one 14:48, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have any objections? ninety:one 14:19, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it deserves its own page so it doesn't get ignored. It may just be a legal term, but it is substantially different from a normal arrest. Pascal (talk) 20:03, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose- I think this needs to be dealt with separately. In New Zealand law, an "arrest without warrant" is a distinctly different legal process to a court issued "warrant to arrest". It is not just a legal term, but an intervention that occurs at a different point in the policing process. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 06:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added a section containing details regarding arresting powers of police in Republic of India

This was my first edit on English Wikipedia. I tried to make it sound as informative as possible, if you notice any lapse in my edits, please correct it. I also made a mistake by placing India above England as it does not form an alphabetical sequence anymore. I would to grateful to whoever edits the section to place India below England.

@Gurkulsahoo: I've edited your section because of three factors:

it was copied verbatim from the source website, which probably constitutes a copyright violation since there is no indication that text on that website is freely available;
it was poorly formatted (owing largely to the poor formatting on the source website) making it difficult to understand the nesting order of the list elements;
it was basically too much undigested information.

Regarding the last point: quoting laws directly is not terribly helpful because most readers of Wikipedia are not lawyers, so understanding the meaning of the law is difficult. It is better to summarize the law in laymen's terms for better understanding of all readers. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:54, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the guidance, I was extremely sorry for directly quoting the law since I forgot to think from a view of a common man and also, I forgot about the copyright violation. This was my first time editing Wikipedia. Thanks for your learned insights I would try to implement while writing any future article on Wikipedia. While you were fixing my edits, I added another section in a separate article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_warrant. It would be great if you could review the "India" section of this article it largely contains the same mistakes that I have made in this article. I would be grateful if you could review and correct my mistakes. Gurkulsahoo (talk) 18:21, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
