What I am saying is that you have to be very, very careful with a citizens arrest. By the very admission of Foote, "he and his team "never touched" the couple, "except to pat them down and search them for weapons" after discovering them lying down in brush early Wednesday morning around 1 a.m. " - that is a de facto citizens arrest, and you have to witness a felony in progress to have the authority in Texas to make one. I have said for some time that I support the actions of the Border Groups, but I think they have to be extremely careful to not give their opponents opportunity to come down on them - because they will.
