Does a warrantless arrest of an individual in a public place violate the Fourth Amendment?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hampton, 164 Cal.App.3d 27, 209 Cal.Rptr. 905 (Cal. App. 1985):
As we have stated, the previous discussion is based on the assumption that the officer did not arrest respondent until after he entered her apartment. However, the facts suggest that we also consider the rule that the warrantless arrest of an individual in a public place upon probable cause does not violate the Fourth Amendment. (United States v. Watson (1976) 423 U.S. 411, 414-424, 96 S.Ct. 820, 823-828, 46 L.Ed.2d 598.)
