Situaciones en las que un oficial puede arrestar sin orden judicial

Explicación Simple

Un oficial de policía puede arrestar a alguien sin una orden si cree que esa persona ha hecho algo malo, como un delito menor o un delito mayor. Esto puede pasar incluso si el oficial no vio el acto, pero tiene razones para creer que ocurrió.

Es como cuando un profesor ve a un grupo de estudiantes haciendo ruido en el pasillo y, aunque no vio exactamente lo que hicieron, puede intervenir porque tiene razones para pensar que están causando problemas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que María, una estudiante, está en su escuela y ve a un compañero, Juan, empujando a otro niño. Un oficial de seguridad que está en la escuela puede arrestar a Juan por agresión, aunque no haya visto el empujón, porque tiene razones para creer que sucedió.
