Every patriot must bring justice to bear and arrest these people if law enforcement won’t.

You can do that under the law - if you are arresting an offender for an act that can be construed to be a felony.

That makes it a citizen's arrest.

Don't do it alone. Have some back up - and a lawyer.

We may see some of these kinds of actions in the streets in favorable jurisdictions.

Detroit must be in some kind of competition with Chicago in the voter fraud scheme.

Chicago has always been the vote fraud capital of the world. The saying in Chicago was, "Vote early and vote often." ;)

With a user-name of FAUXton, is that a clue? just asking...who knows?

I'm trying to figger out the extent to which citizen's arrest still exists in the US. Wasn't it banned, or was that just in my state :-s

It’s the video that sparked a question of when it's OK to make a citizen's arrest.

On Monday, KHOU 11 News reported on a suspected drunk driver stopped by Houstonians who took matters into their own hands.

This jaw-dropping incident that occurred Saturday all went down on the streets of River Oaks. In this case, bystanders went home safely and the driver ended up in jail.

So KHOU wanted to verify: When can someone legally make a citizen’s arrest, and when should they?

For many people, the words “citizen’s arrest” bring to mind images of Gomer Pyle in a classic episode of The Andy Griffith Show.

But in real life, a citizen’s arrest often looks more like what went down on the streets of River Oaks Saturday.

“I saw the right side of his car was gone, and he was going everywhere,” said Alejandro Fernandez during an interview Monday. “He almost hit me, and I was going the other way.”

Fernandez says after calling 911 and following an alleged drunk driver to a parking lot, he and others pulled the driver out of the car and held him until police showed up to take him to jail.

So when can someone legally make a citizens’ arrest, and when should they? To verify, KHOU consulted the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and spoke with Gerald Treece, KHOU’s legal analyst, and Kese Smith, a spokesperson for the Houston Police Department.

State law says a peace officer or any other person can arrest someone if they see a felony or what’s called a “breach of the peace," which Treece says includes someone being beat up or a suspected drunk driver.

However, Treece says the person making the arrest must actually see the alleged crime taking place, as Fernandez and others did. Even though those Houstonians took matters into their own hands, Treece says, in most cases, it’s not a good idea.

“If I guess wrong, I could be held liable civilly and criminally for something called ‘false imprisonment,’” Treece said.

When can someone legally make a citizen’s arrest, and when should they?

When I lived in NW suburban Chicago, I was out front where I lived. The cops turned into the complex across the road. Then this guy jumps up from behind the bushes and starts running down the road. I chased him and caught him about 100 yards away.

I had my handcuffs with me from working security. I took him back and cuffed him to the rail out front and and went inside and called the cops. When they got there, the Lieutenant was asking why I had handcuffs. I told him, "I'm a part time security guard."

The next time I saw that kid he was apologizing to me. I had that affect on several people over the course of time. ;)

I don't know if that's the usual meaning of the term (thank Gaud for such citizens as those). Sure, you can hold a criminal at gunpoint and call for the police -- I know a guy who chased down a bank robber on a sidewalk.
