Can you arrest an individual based on suspicion of them committing a crime without witnessing the act?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only with a warrant

  4. Only if it's a felony

The correct answer is: False

Arresting an individual based on suspicion is considered a violation of their constitutional right to due process and presumption of innocence until proven guilty. A warrant is usually required to make an arrest, unless the crime is considered a felony which can be justified by probable cause. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the legal requirements for making an arrest. By default, the correct answer is B, as it states the accurate information without any incorrect or misleading qualifiers.
