In other words, I guess you guys don't have the rights of Citizen's Arrest? Over here every Citizen has the right (and possibly obligation) to detain a person that commits or is in the act of committing a crime. In this case assault.

People here quite rightly fear that if they try to detain someone under such circumstances they are liable to be the ones sued for assault or kidnap or something. It may sound crazy but it happens. |
