629.32 MINIMUM RESTRAINT ALLOWED FOR ARREST; WARRANT MUST BE
SHOWN UPON REQUEST.
A peace officer making an arrest may not subject the person arrested to any more restraint
than is necessary for the arrest and detention. The peace officer shall inform the defendant that
the officer is acting under a warrant, and shall show the defendant the warrant if requested to do
so. An arrest by a peace officer acting under a warrant is lawful even though the officer does
not have the warrant in hand at the time of the arrest, but if the arrested person so requests the
warrant must be shown to that person as soon as possible and practicable. A peace officer may
lawfully arrest a person when advised by any other peace officer in the state that a warrant has
been issued for that person.
