What is the procedure for the police to arrest people?

Legal analysis: Under normal circumstances, you should first show your police officer's card, identify yourself, and show the arrested person a summons card or detention card. However, under special circumstances, it can be summoned orally without written formalities (summons card or detention card). You can go through the relevant formalities afterwards. Special circumstances generally refer to people who are in an emergency, are running away or have signs of running away or may resist, and those who are identified as illegal and criminal on the spot.

Legal basis: Article 8 of the People's Police Law of the People's Republic of China. People's police of public security organs may forcibly take away people who seriously endanger public order or threaten public safety, detain them according to law or take other measures prescribed by law.
