Answer:

There must be verifiable evidence and an arrest warrant

Suspect must be tried in court and sentenced by a judge

Step-by-step explanation:

Police officers under the law in the civilization of today may not arrest the suspect without reasonable evidence and without a warrant of arrest. Also police officers under the law do not not have the power and authority to sentence a suspect, even with verifiable evidence. The suspect must be tried in a court of law and sentenced or acquitted accordingly.
