Poder de arresto de un oficial de paz sin orden judicial

Explicación Simple

Un oficial de policía puede detener a alguien sin una orden si cree que ha hecho algo malo, como un delito grave o menor. También puede hacerlo si ve el crimen suceder.

Es como si un maestro pudiera sacar a un estudiante del salón si lo ve haciendo trampa, sin necesidad de esperar a que el director le dé permiso.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está caminando por la calle y ve a alguien robando una tienda. El oficial de policía, que está cerca, puede arrestar al ladrón en ese momento, porque lo vio hacerlo.
