Penal Code 836 in California authorizes a peace officer to make an arrest without a warrant when they have probable cause to believe that a felony has been committed and the person to be arrested has committed it. Penal Code 837 allows for a private person to make a citizen's arrest in California for a public offense committed or attempted in their presence.
