    I promise that my intentions aren't to screw with people here for fun. I'm already so sick of the negativity in the world. I hope you can give me the benefit of the doubt.

    OK I hear you, Eagle13. I'm gonna try and pinch off the firehose of question-asking.

    Don't worry, there isn't a topic more played out than "should marijuana be legal" (BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH)
    Fixed it for ya!

    bill, this was the first google listing's first paragraph

    in common law jurisdictions, the practice dates back to medieval Britain and the English common law, in which sheriffs encouraged ordinary citizens to help apprehend law breakers.

    we have no place for it in this time and with cellphones and cameras so prevelant, as credo stated

    police have cars, not horses, direct radio contact is not a new technology anymore...

    welcome to ask a cop bill, and take some time to read other threads...and do note how all posters are treated...it's just too hard not to answer the same question 50 times differently

    and for god's sake, google....google

    Basically, if the person is not convicted or does not plead guilty, CWOF, or admit to sufficient facts, have fun when the criminal sues you for all your shit.

    For the same reason, I respectfully disagree with Roy. I'm not advising anyone to "detain" anyone else. When everything goes to shit, it'll be the cop holding the bag in the end.
