This multi-part blogpost series is aimed at illuminating the most essential aspects of the police’s power to arrest any person. After discussing the circumstances where the police is empowered to arrest a person without warrant in the first and second posts, and who can arrest in the third post , this is the fourth post of this series. In this post, I intend to discuss the pre-arrest procedure and the procedure meant to be followed by the Police at the time of the arrest (The procedure to be followed post-arrest shall be the subject matter of the s ixth post of this series).
