@Sa1eem

I assure you that you are wrong as far as UK is concerned. Leave stopping police to arrest someone illegally, but one can even arrest police officer if they are doing something illegal.

In UK, police do not have monopoly on arresting law breakers, rather every citizen can arrest law breakers, and that is called Citizen Arrest … and good thing is that, citizen can also arrest a police officer if he breaks law.

[Well, that is legal position in UK and has happened too]

I practice law for living & in the US force freeing suspect is known as obstruction of justice. Legal def: obstruction of justice n. an attempt to interfere with the administration of the courts, the judicial system or law enforcement officers, including threatening witnesses, improper conversations with jurors, hiding evidence, or interfering with an arrest. Such activity is a crime.
