Police Inspector Aptitude Practice Questions - Probationary Inspector Aptitude Test - Hong Kong Police Force Exam

The legality of the arrest depends on whether there was a reasonable suspicion of an offense, rather than absolute proof of guilt at the time of arrest. A police officer must have a signed warrant from a magistrate before making any arrest under Cap. 232. An arrest is only lawful if the suspect is eventually convicted of the offense in a court of law. Only officers of the rank of Inspector or above are legally empowered to make arrests under Section 50.
