Would that be sort of like a citizens arrest? I know it's not at that point but is there a legal argument to be made that a citizens arrest could be made against Bo? Not that the DC cops or any other would carry it out obviously.
Right now he thinks he is above the law. He can ignore all the calls for a legal birth certificate proving he's an American born citizen.
More like impersonating an officer.
“Would that be sort of like a citizens arrest? I know it’s not at that point but is there a legal argument to be made that a citizens arrest could be made against Bo? Not that the DC cops or any other would carry it out obviously.”
Not all states recognize “citizen arrest.” I don’t think “citizen’s arrest” has ever existed at the federal level. Even where recognized, it is a risky thing to do. If the actually law enforcement personnel don’t back you up, you can be charged with, I believe, “false detainment?” or “kdnapping?”. So, a person making a “citizen’s arrest” could themselves be arrested by law enforcement. Need a lawyer here......
