And then arrange to have their bail set at...oh, I dunno...the sum total of their assets?

1. Can we shoot 'em for trying to escape?

2. You'll need to bring the folks from the "Guns" forum along for that.

I'm sure tasering is fine, though, since they're almost certain to "resist arrest"(and while they're lying on the ground unconscious in a puddle of corporate urine, you can slip dope into their deep pockets).

3. I asked that here a day or so after the Supremes belched
It would definitely be an interesting topic to hear about from a legal expert. My feeling is that the only citizen winding up under arrest would be the would-be citizen arrester.
