Are Palestinian police not allowed to carry guns, or were they both arrested because the plainclothes officer was carrying a gun (and that he could be an, say, armed Hamas member)? Just curious since the vehicle they were traveling in seems plainly marked as a police vehicle.

El gobierno del presidente Oscar Berger decreto estado de prevencion en los municipios de Tajumulco, Concepcion Tutuapa, Ixchiguan, San Miguel Ixtahuacan y Tejutla, luego de trascender que Guatemala seria el sexto pais distribuidor de heroina del mundo. Al menos 15 millones de matas de amapola, han sido destruidas en esta zona fronteriza con Mexico durante la presente semana.

It really dosn't seem like they are being arrested, they are not handcuffed or blindfolded and inside the jeep the policemen are siting next to the door so they can jump out with no problem.
