Yeah, I’m guessing this particular citizens arrest may have been a bit more ‘involved’ than some daft old git shouting at a car full of people.

Nobody’s ever successfully made a citizens arrest. If someone tried you’d tell them to fuck right off. If they percevered you’d put them on the floor. Pointless.

if they tried to citizens arrest me i’d tell them get ready to die cracker.

It’s never going to go well, is it?

There’s 3 outcomes as I see it:

  1. The arrestee simply says “FO,M”. Might even get someone filming it and you might end up looking like a total pollock on the internet.

  2. The arrestee lamps you one (or worse)

  3. The opposite of 2 and you end up in trouble with the filth.

Nobody likes a hero, leave it to the rozzers.

I recall Chris Eubank carrying out a citizens arrest some years back.

Professional fighters are probably the only group of people who could get away with it though.

Having now seen this I reckon the thing that made him angry was probably how badly they were filming him.

true fact, if you Citizens Arrest someone but do not read them their rights properly, you can get done for kidnapping

if you kidnap someone and don’t read them their rights, they can citizen arrest you

Been racking my brain as the “your under citizens arrest” outburst reminds me of lots of comedy sketches.

David Brent “your not getting made redundant”

Dads Army “don’t tell him pike” scene

Also just about any John Cleese sketch

So is a citizen’s arrest about as effective in the real world as typing “ban request” is here?

#107

It’s even less so.

I can’t help thinking how much better it would have been had he filmed it given he worked on Planet Earth

Struggling to think of a time I have kept my anger levels this high for as long as this geezer. Seems like there was some argy-bargy on the motorway (talk of “ramming”?, but following them to a service station and screaming at them - nah, I’d be at calmly swapping insurance details by then.

Probably not a great idea to try and lamp Eubank
