Whatever happened to that "citizens" arrest thing you americans had going?

It really depends on which state you are in. Unfortunately, it is a gamble on whether you should restrain someone until police arrive. Then, you always risk a lawsuit from the person you restrained. This is why I like living in a rural area.

I am with you though GG, I would most likely (depending on the situation) want to hold the person there until the police arrive.
