When police officers want to arrest you for any crime or suspicion of any crime, they may come to your location and arrest you. While arresting you, the details of the arrest, place of arrest, time of arrest etc will be written down in an Arrest Memo. They may:
- Arrest you with Warrant
- Arrest you without a Warrant
- Issue a notice to appear at the police station.
