- agents lacked authority under law to arrest defendant without a warrant absent reasonable cause to believe defendant was committing or attempting to commit a misdemeanor in their presence
- The Second Circuit evidences at least one contra decision in United States v. Kaplan, 586 F.2d 980 (2d Cir.1978), but this may be explained as an exercise of the court’s power to notice plain error under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 52(b)
