SB 1284: Arrest and Search Warrants

GENERAL BILL by Martin

Arrest and Search Warrants; Authorizing a judge to issue an arrest warrant or issue a summons or a notice to appear in lieu of an arrest warrant under specified circumstances if a complaint alleges only the commission of a misdemeanor offense; authorizing, rather than requiring, a trial court judge to issue a summons under specified circumstances when a complaint is for a misdemeanor that the trial court judge is not empowered to try summarily; expanding the circumstances under which an arrest by an officer without a warrant is lawful to include when there is probable cause to believe that a person has committed a criminal act in violation of an injunction for protection against stalking or cyberstalking or has committed an act that constitutes driving under the influence or boating under the influence, etc.
