Note: I’m not asking for legal advice. Rather, it’s a thing in some countries (like Japan or Indonesia) as I recall watching a video depicting an Australian tourist in Indonesia witnessesing people pursuing the phone snatcher by ganging up on him in which they eventually caught the dude & undercover cops managed to arrest him. Now, the question remains: are people in the US allowed to conduct a citizens arrest in the US?
Never. Some states are ran by and largely occupied by dumbasses that haven’t learned a new fact since 1995. I’ve lived in several of them so I’m not just being rude.
