Which article section of the criminal procedure law pertains to peace officers making arrests without a warrant?

The section of the criminal procedure law that pertains to peace officers making arrests without a warrant is found in Article 140, specifically section 140.25. This section outlines the authority of peace officers to arrest individuals in certain circumstances without needing a warrant.

This is particularly critical in law enforcement as it allows for immediate action in situations where a crime is happening, or when there is reasonable cause to believe that an individual is committing a crime. Understanding this provision helps ensure that peace officers can perform their duties effectively while also upholding the rights of individuals under the law.

The other sections listed do not specifically address the authority to arrest without a warrant in the way that Article 140.25 does. For example, Article 120 generally deals with assault offenses, Article 130 addresses sexual offenses, and Article 150 concerns property offenses. While these articles are important in their own contexts, they do not pertain to the specific powers of peace officers regarding warrantless arrests.
