Constitutionality.

- O.C.G.A. § 17-13-34 is justified under the Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments in that it is based upon a standard which comports with the constitutional standard of probable cause as set forth in Beck v. Ohio, 379 U.S. 89, 85 S. Ct. 223, 13 L. Ed. 2d 142 (1964). Ledesma v. State, 251 Ga. 487, 306 S.E.2d 629 (1983), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 1069, 104 S. Ct. 975, 79 L. Ed. 2d 213 (1984).

Section provides grounds in addition to

§ 17-4-20 for warrantless arrest. - While under former Code 1933, § 27-207 (see O.C.G.A. § 17-4-20), a lawful arrest without a warrant can be made by an officer only if the offense is committed in the officer's presence; if the offender is endeavoring to escape; or if for other cause there is likely to be a failure of justice for want of an officer to issue a warrant, the General Assembly by the enactment of Ga. L. 1951, p. 726, § 14 (see O.C.G.A. § 17-13-34) made provision for another instance in which an arrest without a warrant might be lawfully made. Fields v. State, 211 Ga. 335, 85 S.E.2d 753 (1955); Wheeler v. Stynchcombe, 234 Ga. 240, 215 S.E.2d 244 (1975).

Satisfaction of "all practicable speed" requirement.

- Taking a defendant before a judge for a commitment hearing on Monday after defendant's Friday arrest satisfies the "all practicable speed" requirement. Wheeler v. Stynchcombe, 234 Ga. 240, 215 S.E.2d 244 (1975).

Officer need only have probable cause that out-of-state warrant was issued.

- When an officer believes that an out-of-state warrant has been issued, and this belief is based on reliable information from out-of-state officials that the issuance of a warrant is imminent, this amounts to probable cause to arrest, which is the applicable standard for a warrantless arrest in Georgia, even if this belief is mistaken and does not meet the requirement of O.C.G.A. § 17-13-34 that the officer have "reasonable information." Ledesma v. State, 251 Ga. 487, 306 S.E.2d 629 (1983), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 1069, 104 S. Ct. 975, 79 L. Ed. 2d 213 (1984).

Inmate's challenge to an arrest via habeas corpus.

- Trial court properly dismissed an inmate's petition for a writ of habeas corpus for failing to state a claim upon which relief could be granted based on a finding that such was prematurely filed in that no governor's warrant had been issued or served from the seeking state at the time the petition was filed and the inmate had only been arrested for Georgia offenses; moreover, to the extent that the inmate might have been seeking to challenge an arrest without a warrant pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 17-13-34, insufficient facts were pled which supported such a claim. Powell v. Brown, 281 Ga. 609, 641 S.E.2d 519 (2007).

Arrest not authorized until requisition issued.

- Prior to the issuance of a requisition for extradition, an officer of this state is not authorized to make an arrest under a warrant issued by an inferior court of another state. 1952-53 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 362.
