Yes, totally random silly question 😂
Yes, it’s called turning yourself in, and people do it because they feel guilty, or they know they’re going to be caught anyways, and are hoping cooperation earns them a lesser sentence.
If you’ve committed a crime, you can always turn yourself in. If you really felt like it, you could even make them come out to you to pick you up.
A “citizen’s arrest” usually requires the suspect commit a crime (usually a felony,) in your presence and requires a certain amount of timeliness. (Ie you can’t later decide to arrest them.)
Basically, you’d only be allowed to detain them until cops arrived, and to be totally honest, is not something you really should be doing- just let the perps go. It’s safer for you, and there’s legal risks if you fucked up and what they didn’t wasn’t a crime or wasn’t a serious enough crime.
It happened in Blazing Saddles! https://youtu.be/Z_JOGmXpe5I
Damn you LMFAO!
I haven’t seen that movie in ages!
It’s time! I watch about once a year it’s so fucking hilarious
One of my old bosses once went to the police station when he was drunk or high (or both) to complain about something crazy, and maybe about a crazy person trying to drive his car that he was actually driving. I think they talked him into spending the night while they checked it out. He had issues.
“Hey man, yagottahelpme…hic…there’s a crazy guy, good guy, smart guys, who’s really really drunk, and he’s trying to drive his car…my car…a car…he’s trying to drive, and that’s a bad idea. He can barely walk, and I just really gotta pee …He’s gotta pee so bad! And he’s wearing a red shirt, and has a kissable face. This guy FUUUUUCKS, but right now shouldn’t drive…”
“Yeah. Hey, let’s get you nice and situated on this here bench, inside this cell. Don’t worry. You and your red shirt will be perfectly fine…”
“Zzzzzzzz…Zzzzzzzz…Zzzzzzz”
Honestly, this is probably almost exactly how it went down
If you citizens arrested yourself then the criminal would also be holding the arrester hostage.
