Arrest May be Made Day or Night

Whenever an arrest is authorized by the provisions of this Code, it may be made on any day and at any time of the day or night. NOTE: Section 20.30 supersedes former § 840. Compare Cal. Pen Code § 840. See generally B. Witkin, California Criminal Procedure Proceedings Before Trial § 109(1963, Supp. 1973). The major change is to authorize misdemeanor arrests by a peace officer at any time on reasonable cause without the additional requirement of a threat of flight or additional injury.
