Pennsylvania law authorizes police officers to arrest individuals without a warrant if they have probable cause to believe certain traffic violations occurred, including driving while suspended, DUI, or operating an uninterlocked vehicle. The law also covers arrests made at medical facilities outside the officer's jurisdiction if the violation is believed to have occurred within their jurisdiction. Additionally, judicial officers cannot modify charges related to these violations without the prosecutor's consent, and provisions exist for work release for certain offenders.
