This is making big news because of the alleged racial profiling case and killing that happened in georgia. So do you think they should be legal? Are they legal in your state etc........?

I was under the impression that it's not legal unless someone witnesses a felony.

Citizens cant even be trusted to do basic and common sense shit like not congregate in large crowds during a global pandemic.

Im ok with it as long as the standard is objective, as in a crime was actually being committed and you actually witnessed it. NOT a reasonable standard which would let you do it as long as a reasonable person would think a crime was being committed.

Also, it would be a defense to murder, battery, assault, unlawful imprisonment etc. Which means if you kill a guy trying to arrest him you are getting tried for murder but you can raise the defense at trial.

Putting someone under citizens arrest is usually a bad idea lol.

as a citizen you dont have the legal protections and access to lawyers that police do so much easier to get yourself in a world of legal trouble and its really hard to arrest someone and get them to stay in place without handcuffs... easy way to get yourself an assault charge or beat up.
