A ii— I Ir~71'lllIlia 1
by Charles W. Daniel
(I*or the N. C. Bar Association)
THE LAW OF ARREST
I he hub-bub which followed a
North Carolina Supreme Court de
cision last month, dealing with the
law of arrest without a warrant,
may have left some confusion in
the minds of newspaper readers.
I his is offered as an attempt to
clarify the basic rules in the law
of arrest.
One rule, applying to crime's
which are misdemeanors, says
generally that an officer may not
make an arrest without a warrant
unless the alleged crime amounts
to, or threatens, a breach of the
peace. But this rule applies only
lo misdemeanors committed in a
community where there is no lo
cal law regulating arrest in such
cases. The case which brought
on the much-debated Supreme
Court decision on this question last
month arose in Dallas, a town in
upper Gaston county. Police there
arrested without a warrant a man
accused of public drunkenness.
There was no evidence that the
man did or was about to breach
the peace. There was no local
statute or authority for arrest in
such a case without a warrant.
So. the rule cited above had to
be applied and the arrest was il
legal. Under such circumstances,
the accused man had a right to
resist the arrest.
When Arrest Is Legal
On the other hand, if the same
thing had happened in Durham
(just for example) the arrest with
out a warrant would have been
perfectly legal and the person so
arrested would have had no right
to resist. This is true because a
provision in the Durham City
Charter permits' arrest without a
warrant for drunkenness and
other types of lesser crime, wheth
er or not the conduct of the ac
cused breaches or threatens the
public peace.
This general rule of no arrest
without a warrant in misdemeanor
cases except for breach of the
peace came down to us as inhab
itants of the original 13 colonies
in this contry as a part of the

English Common Law. It was
written into our General Statutes
in 1869 No change has been
made in it since that date, al
though a number of specific, state
wide exceptions have been written
into the books. These exceptions
include practically all automobile
law violations, game law viola
tions, forestry violations, certain
liquor law violations and a num
ber of others.
One point should be noted: If
a person is arrested without a
warrant under authority of a local
law permitting such arrest, he
should be tried under that law
and NOT under the general state
statute. Thus, such arrest would
be entirely legal and a subsequent
conviction would not be upset on
the ground that the arrest had
been illegal.
Felony Arrest Rule
An entirely different rule ob
tains for arrests without a warrant
when the alleged crime involved
amounts to a “felony”, or .more
serious crime for which an offend
er could be sentenced to the
State Prison.
By statute, this rule is that
peace officers have the right to
make arrests without process (war
rant) when the officer has “rea
sonable ground to believe”: (1) A
felony lias been committed, or, a
dangerous wound inflicted; (2)
That a particular person is guilty
and may escape if not immed
iately arrested.
In order to justify the arrest,
it is NOT essential that any such
serious offense be shown to have
been ACTUALLY committed. It
is only necessary that the officer
have reasonable ground to believe
that such offense has been com
mitted.
Did Not Change Law
The Supreme Court, in its opin
ion on the law of arrest last
month, did NOT change the law
as it has existed for years.
The opinion pointed up clearly
the need for a general statewide
statute empowering all peace of
ficers to arrest person charged
with public drunkenness without
a warrant. To illustrate the sever
ity of this need: last year 418
pedestrians were killed by auto
mobiles in North Carolina. Of
these, one out of 5 had been drink
ing, according to a report by Major
Charles A. Speed of the Highway
Safety Division. Major Speed
says that drunks walking along

the state’s highways constitute one
of the Highway Patrol’s most ser

need clear authority to arrest such
persons (as well as others who
are publicly drunk) to protect
them and the public. A bill creat

pared by the North Carolina Ju
dicial Council for presentation to
the 1955 General Assembly.

According to
CLARENCE "HOYLE" HOWELL
What Am I Doing To Build A Better World?
There is a Christian way of living and an American
way of living in a world grown full of sin; sin we all
should place clearly before us. In doing so think of your
neighbor as a jewel. Let us treasure them and not crit
icize them. God has taught us to do unto others as we
would have them do unto us.
God asks for love, love which we need to share and
understand. Let us not be selfish, but be free to choose
good wherever it is found.
What are YOU doing to improve our world?
