Badge Absence And Arrest Validity
Summary
In both New York and California, the absence of a badge does not automatically invalidate an arrest. Officers are required to identify themselves and inform the person of the cause and authority of the arrest. In California, this is outlined in California Penal Code § 841, and in New York, it is covered under New York Criminal Procedure Law § 140.15. These laws emphasize the importance of officers communicating their authority and the reason for the arrest, rather than the necessity of wearing a badge. For specific legal advice or more detailed information, consulting local laws or a legal professional is recommended.Full Conversation

In New York, the absence of a badge doesn't automatically invalidate an arrest either. Officers must identify themselves as law enforcement, but not wearing a badge alone isn't enough to invalidate the arrest.
Do you have any specific details or circumstances related to the arrest that you need more information on?
i need sources backing it up
Sure, I can help with that. Here are some sources to back up the information:
California:
-
California Penal Code § *: This section requires that an officer must inform the person of the intention to arrest, the cause of the arrest, and the authority to make it. The absence of a badge does not automatically invalidate the arrest.
New York:
- New York Criminal Procedure Law § *.*: Similar to California, it requires officers to inform the person of the cause and authority of the arrest. The law does not state that the absence of a badge invalidates an arrest.
Would you like more detailed information on either of these laws?
