Answer: The correct answer is : It's called a Presence Requirement. For the arrest to be valid, the misdemeanor must occur in the presence of an officer.

Explanation: An arrest occurs when a police officer takes a person into custody or the person is deprived of liberty for having committed a criminal offense. The officer can make the arrest when: he has personally observed the crime, when he has probable cause that makes him believe that the arrested person committed a crime and when the officer has an arrest warrant issued by a judge.
