Egypt’s general prosecution said on Sunday that vandalism of public or private property, blocking roads, disrupting public transportation, spreading terror among citizens or preventing employees from entering their offices are all flagrant violations of the law that allow for arrest without a court order. 

The prosecution statement on Sunday called on police officers and army forces to carry on their duties, according to the law, and immediately arrest outlaws who are caught in the act and refer them to the authorities - without warrants or court orders. 

Describing it as a "national duty", it also encouraged citizens to practice their constitutional right to catch criminals while in the act and refer them to the authorities or at least report their crimes.
