Warrantless arrest rule excludes private people for serious charges in other states

Section 2514 leaves private people out of its rule allowing officers to arrest without a warrant. This rule applies when another state's court has charged someone with a crime punishable by death or more than one year in prison. The officer must have reasonable information about the charge. After the arrest, the person must be taken before a judge or justice of the peace as quickly as practical. A sworn complaint must explain the arrest, and the person's answer must be heard.

Section 2509 gives officers no special power to order other people to help with an arrest. This concerns arrests based on charges filed in another state.
