Arrest by private person

A private person may make an arrest:

2. When a felony has been in fact committed and he has reasonable ground to believe that the person to be arrested has committed it.

Answer 2

Well, in our country,Philippines, we can put someone in citizen's arrest with any of the following.
1. When the accussed is actually committing a crime
on Section 9, RUle 113 of the Rules of Court, here is the reason.


Sec. 9. Method of arrest by private person.

A private person when making an arrest shall inform the person to be arrested of the intention to arrest him and cause of the arrest, unless the person to be arrested is then engaged in the commission of an offense, or is pursued immediately after its commission or after an escape, or flees or forcibly resists before the person making the arrest has opportunity so to inform him, or when the giving of such information will imperil the arrest.

Answer 3

If you'r the average citizen, you have to see him commit a felony crime. A misdeamenor, won't do. Then you call the cops, and if it's all true they arrest him. Then when the court date, You have to go and testify. IF, you did something, the person might turn around and sue you for false arrest.

Answer 4

You don't.

Its hard enough for the police to make an arrest stick. The personal liability is tremendous.

I would check with your insurance company to see if your homeowner's liebility would cover you and under what circumstances.

Don't be a hero in this arena.

Answer 5

You walk up to them and tell them they are under citizens arrest and they are to stay where they are at till the police show up.

You can not use force or put your hands on them, if you do and they would be found not guilty or even if they are found guilty, they can sue you for excessive force or even have you arrested for assult.

So you merely tell them they are under arrest and they are to stay and wait on the police.

( so in real life, you don't do it)

Answer 6

You don't. You put them under citizen's arrest.

Answer 7

first you beat them senseless, using clubs and pepper spray, then cuff them with your citizen handcuffs, lock them in your basement. read them their rights (they now have none) after a month or 2 of regular beatings and a bread and water diet, you may consider turning them into the police. this is assuming what they did was a very heinous crime (child abuse or rape)

Answer 8

Call the cops; it's their job. (They do a fine job doing what they are trained - and allowed - to do.)

Answer 9

Be prepared to knock them out cold if they refuse to comply.
