Did you know that you may have the power to arrest another person if you observe them committing a crime? In the state of California, citizen’s arrests are legal under certain circumstances. A citizen's arrest is when one person, who is not a police officer, arrests another person.
However, there are restrictions to this law to ensure that it is not abused. In fact, if you make an unlawful citizen’s arrest you could be held liable for criminal and civil charges. Read on to learn more about California citizen’s arrest laws and how to protect yourself from criminal or civil charges for making an unlawful citizen’s arrest.
