What is NOT considered an arrest without a warrant?

In the context of law enforcement, an arrest without a warrant typically occurs when an officer has probable cause to believe that a person has committed a crime. Certain offenses are specifically listed as exceptions where officers can make such arrests based on their observations or the circumstances surrounding the event.

Destruction of property is generally treated as an offense that requires evidence of a ongoing crime or immediate response to prevent further harm. An officer witnessing an act of destruction or having reliable information about it can act without a warrant because it presents an immediate need to intervene. In contrast, the other offenses mentioned, such as aggravated trespass, menacing by stalking, and violating a protection order, are considered crimes that usually warrant more immediate law enforcement action, as they can pose direct threats to safety or well-being. In these cases, officers are often empowered to take swift action to prevent further escalation or harm.

Thus, the nature of the crime and the circumstances typically surrounding destruction of property lend it to being addressed differently than the other listed offenses, making it not considered an arrest without a warrant in this context.
