Some countries maybe - depends what the problem is.
Where I am, no. They must have valid reason - ie a specific charge or a request for custody pending further investigation - and a judge will not listen to gossip, he/she wants facts.
Flipside is LE are very good with people generally and by law, are not permitted to be "oppressive" else their asses end up in jail. In practice, they are more friends towards folks and no problem (unless you commit offenses). This is a totally different attitude to eg. the EU, US etc.
