I guess that I don't understand why you would bother. As a private citizen you are witness to the crime that can testify against him anayway. does the fact that you happened to apprehend him change this?stevie_d_64 wrote:Question for anyone who wants to take on a challenge...
Just think about it...
If a civilian can arrest and detain, does that civilian have the authority to Mirandize (sp?) that suspect???
"You have the right to remain silent...blah blah blah..."
I want to see what others think about this...
If done properly is it legally binding, or does it require a commission in the state to administer that procedure...Or should you just be quiet and wait for the calvary...(the last option is what I would think is proper...)
Granted, I am in no way pushing for civilians to act as Law Enforcement officials...
I know in some departments its required to read from a card, and not from memory for the suspect to be properly administered...
