  Power of arrest - WikiCrimeLine
Before 1st January 2006 an arrest could take place if the matter for which the suspect was suspected of was classified an “arrestable offence” or where a particular power of arrest was given.
The use of the power must be fully justified and officers exercising the power should consider whether the necessary objectives can be met by other, less intrusive means, such as summons, fixed penalty notice, penalty notice for disorder; or by using street bail following arrest rather than taking the person to the police station.
The exercise of arrest powers will be subject to a test of necessity based around the nature and circumstances of the offence and the interests of the criminal justice system.

Because this statute exclusively governs the bail’s power of arrest, a bounty hunter, as defined in Tenn. Code Ann.
