Arrest without warrant if warrant has been issued
79 Arrest without warrant if warrant has been issued
A police officer may, without a warrant, take into custody a person whom the officer has reasonable cause for believing or suspecting to be a person for whose apprehension or commitment a warrant has been issued by a justice.
If a police officer, without a warrant, takes into custody a person whom the officer has reasonable cause for believing or suspecting to be a person for whose committal a warrant has been issued by a justice, the officer must, as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver that person into the custody of the police officer in charge of the nearest police station and must, as soon as conveniently may be, produce or cause to be produced to the person taken into custody the warrant of commitment (if any), and the person must then be dealt with as required by the warrant.
If a person taken into custody is in need of medical treatment before being delivered as required under this section, the requirement to deliver the person as soon as reasonably practicable does not prevent the immediate provision of necessary medical treatment.
